Lethargic Chick

[servant_of_fluffs]

I have a chick that I hatched 2 days ago that is acting very lethargic. I noticed he was walking stiffly about 30 minutes ago, so I took him out to check him over. He got more lethargic so I gave him sugar water. He currently can’t stand and has his eyes closed. Any suggestions?

He’s in an incubator right now (the temp is set to 90 F) because his siblings are being aggressive to him.

The other chicks are acting normal.

Unfortunately, he just passed away. There was clear liquidy stuff coming from his beak.

I'm so sorry you lost a chick. It's very possible he was just a failure to thrive, since it happened so quickly.
