I need it. Thank you.

I also started her with some ACV in her water with the sugar. Hoping tomorrow will be a good day for her. Picked her up some meal worms to put in her crumble. Also still getting her scrambled eggs.

ACV is wonderful but, don't forget that it doesn't actually create good bacteria. Add probiotics (yogurt or avian probiotics) to help build good bacteria. Personally, I would also switch out the sugar for true electrolytes or save a chick. Bad bacteria will thrive on sugar. It's good for a short term quick boost.

I put the ACV in because I read alot of articles that said it will help with mucus in their respiratory system. Worth a try for a little while. I do have some of the probiotics and the electrolytes. Just have to figure out how to break up the packs cause in her box here in the house she has I think it's a quart waterer from when they were baby chicks. Those do a gallon. I wonder if I can mix it all and leave in a container to use out of or if it will disperse out and not be as effective. I will give that tomorrow. It's only her second day with the sugar. So I'm not that worried.

You are correct! That's actually why I drink tea with ACV when I'm sick! Of course I add cranberry juice and honey!!!
I'm usually in the same boat as you when it comes to mixing. I end up making the gallon jug and refrigerating the rest. I had read that you can keep the mixture for up to 36 hours. It was on a couple threads here....somewhere!
Seriously hoping this chicken makes it!!!

Omg I put in the worst night with her. Between her scratching in her box and this morning talking and wheezing. I had put that bird netting over the top. And this morning she keeps jumping up into it trying to escape. Has a few times. Hoping she calms down here soon.

Turn the light(s) down?

 

[diana507]

She's acting all high strung like they do when I'm in the coop and they want to go lay. She never did lay yesterday. Hoping she will today. Now where she has been so active trying to escape she's wheezing worse. I shut the light off in the room hoping she will calm down.

The good news is she has energy.

That is a good thing. The antibiotic can't already be working can it?
