Lathargic chick

[Pats Poultry]

Hi All,
I have a really lethargic 8 week old chick. She was great this morning, eating,drinking, and scratching. I noticed this afternoon that she is just sitting wanting to close her eyes.I would guess that she has bee like this for about 2- hours. I am at a loss. have no idea what it could be. Hopefully someone can guide me in the right direction.

I would isolate her immediately in a warm room with food and water.Offer her scrambled eggs.Once she is in there for a while see if she pooped.Then post it.

She pooped right before I posted this. I tried to give her some water with a eye dropper. Got a little bit in her but not much. She is in the house as we speak. I will scramble an egg now and see if she will eat. I am afraid that we are going to lose her.

Can you take a pic of the poop?

she was in with the other two chicks at the time she pooped and it has been scratched over but I did not notice any thing to different but not sure what I am looking for. How much water should I try to give her. Just scrambled an egg and she did not want any of it?????

Fill your hand with some water and dip her beak(Give her time to drink)About five sips will be fine.

should I give her some electrolytes

Yes,That would be great.

Thank you for being here for us. I just gave her a couple of eye droppers of water with electrolytes. They were only about half full so I would guess 6 or seven drops got in her. Should I keep trying to give here more in a few minutes
