Lethargic and Weak Chick, I don't know what to do!

[ChickenLover741]

I've recently purchased 12 chicks and while 11 of them are healthy and lively, one of them (small ameraucana) has been noticibly lethargic and wouldn't move from her spot under the heat lamp. Since she was being stepped on, I isolated her in a separate tote and put some electrolyte and probiotic solution in her water. While she initially seemed to be getting better (lots of eating and some dunking) twice now she has been found on her back looking very dead. I picked her up both times and she started peeping and moving, but she is still very weak and seems to have a hard time moving around a lot and keeping her eyes open. She can walk but overall she is just very lethargic and I'm very worried. Is there anything else I can do to help her? I don't want to watch her die

More than likely, she will die. All we can do is to get them drinking, possibly give some NutriDrench or SaveAChick electrolytes, keep them warm, and check for pasty butt. Some are weak, and if they are shipped, they may suffer more stress. It is very sad to watch, but you can end it too. I would watch the others so that they are drinking well and active—if not, then try some NutriDrench.

UPDATE: bloody poops appeared, I am now treating them with Corid

How old are the chicks now? Where did the chicks comes from? Corid dosage for a serious outbreak is 2 tsp of the liquid Corid, or 1 1/2 tsp of the powder per gallon of water daily. Treat for 5-7 days. Do not give vitamin B1 thiamine while on Corid.

Chicks are 5-7 days old, I got them from Paris Farmers Union, and thank you so much for the advice
