I just got my chicks yesterday I think they were all okay but I noticed today one of them is kinda puffed up laying its head down on the bedding and it’s not moving. Its crop feels flat so I think it didn’t eat. I need help what should I do?! Also it’s 1 week old I think that’s what the guy I bought it from said.

Check for pasty butt (stuck poop on it’s vent,) and clean it off. Get it drinking some water with electrolytes as often as possible by dipping it’s beak into the water. Show it the food and dip it’s beak. What are you feeding? If that is chick grit in the back ground, maybe it ate a lot of that? Do you have a heat source?

It dosent have any poop stuck to its vent. I dipped its beak in the water. What electrolytes do I get? I dipped its beak in food. I’m feeding them Ace Hi Feeds. I gave them chick grit yeah. I have a heat source a 150 watt and it is 27 degrees Celsius.
