Out of 13 live chicks (so far) one is limp. S/he was hatched 2 days (going on 3 tomorrow). Literally, since it hatched, it can't sit up, much less do anything else. Picking it up, it lays limp- only slightly moving its head but will move its legs yet won't move its toes. I've tried giving it water and food but it's uninterested. It'll peep here and there.
It's probably a goner, but any suggestions? I don't like to give up on any sick/injured animal (especially a baby), but know after exhausting all ideas to help, will end its 'suffering'.
I've already tried water, sugar water, a water yolk mixture, chick starter gruel etc-yet won't eat/drink.
It's plenty warm so coldness isn't an issue. Know some are born to die, but it's just sad!
