lethargic week old chick

[oaksbest]

Hey guys I need help. I have a 1 week old chick who until today was doing well. A few hours ago I noticed she was lethargic so I quarantined her. She is not eating or drinking and has slight green in her stool. any insight or suggestions?

Welcome To BYC

I'm sorry about your chick.

I'd try to get her to take drops of sugar water or electrolytes, see if that helps perk her up. If you have Poultry Nutri-Drench, give her 2-3drops twice a day, in addition to getting fluids into her.
Also offer mushy chick starter after she's drinking fairly well.

Could she have gotten overheated or trampled by other chicks? What does her crop feel like?

If you have photos of her, her poop and your brooder setup, those are always welcome.

I'm so sorry she's under the weather. I'm also dealing with a week-old chick that needs extra TLC, and the best way I've found to get any supplements in her is to soak a q-tip (or your finger) and hold it against the side of her beak. She'll eventually pull the excess liquid into her mouth. I can't remember who gave the advice in what thread, but it's been a life-saver!
