I just got a "batch of new chicks 2 days ago. This morning 1 of the Amberlinks was laying on its side not moving with another chick standing on top. We warmed her up by putting her to our chest with another little chick, then got a syringe with a bit of warm water and sugar. 2 hours later after nursing a few drops down her she finally opened her eyes, began chirping and stood up.
Not sure if this was the right thing to do, but it worked..... so far.
Does anyone have any more suggestions or thoughts.
Thanks

UPDATE: 7 hours ago I thought this little one was a goner. She is eating, drinking and cuddling with 2 other little ones that helped with the recovery.
