So I just realized this is my mom's account...
But I didn't know where to turn.
Well, this is out first time hatching eggs and one little buddy is extremely sick.
I keep calling "her" Baby... She hatched a day later than the rest of the bunch...
She pecked her way through the shell all by herself... and we opened it a little for her
so her mouth/ nose was out of the shell. (We had one die earlier because it's mouth was stuck.)
Not too long later she was out and a resting, like the rest of her siblings...
But as the day went on and the others were almost done fluffing.... she still slept.
She was born just fine, her egg sac was completely adsorbed.
We have been giving her sugar water like everyone says to... and been hand feeding her
chick starter with a little bit of warm water to make a paste. (She doesn't really eat.)
We tried giving her a boiled egg yoke mashed as well... one bite.. then nothing.
She fights and fights and gets a speckle of food down... then goes to sleep in our hands.
In her house (not sure what its called)... shes kept warm and all she does is sleep.
Today, we found some blood in her poop.
She threw up some clear/ pink liquid.
She's asleep right now!
My mom has completely given up on her... but i just can't. she peeps and peeps.
I'll give up on her when she gives up herself.
She can't walk to well. She is a silikie... so her outside toes are curled under her foot.
We did a band aid treatment.... but my mom said to take them off...
cause she looks like she's about to die....
She sleeps on her side and on her back...
Most times she sleeps on her chest legs straight out behind her.
When she breathes she makes a clicking sound...
which makes me think she has some sort of respiratory infection.
We don't live too close to town... So I don't have access to medications at the moment.
I'm just staying with her... because she doesn't seem to get any better.
PLEASE HELP.
Thank you
