Lethargic chick

[jmccrohan]

I am a first time chick mom I bought 6 day RIR from TS. Today it has been 5 days and I have one that is not doing well spends time by herself when I check on them making sure she is eating and drinking she had pasty butt and I cleaned her all up (the other 5 are doing very well) I fed them some cooked egg yolk they loved it want to make sure I am doing everything possible to get her strong and thriving but not sure if it’s working

Mine is one day two of being “removed” I put her with the others to socialize and she will peck around now for VERY short times but some is better than none in my book. Once I see her starting to get lethargic again I bring her back up to her manmade momma and let her rest up. Once she’s rested for a while she will eat but only scrambled eggs or egg yolk... she won’t touch her chick food She still won’t drink on her own there are some other great threads under “lime green poop,” which mine has, that has a huge list of possible medication but I’m scared with such a small chick.

I separated mine for 2 days and made her drink Gatorade with water, she seems to be almost normal now. I called the feed store where I got it and they said she could be dehydrated or stressed from the ride home
