I have a emergency. I got the chicks today but one is too weak to walk, has it's eyes shut and cannot get up to eat/drink. Should I let it rest, would it be too stressed if I put it in a hospital?

Hospital?
Do you have any electrolytes? Or put sugar in its water to give it energy. How old is it? You could put garlic and ACV in the water

I have a hospital, and a heating pad. I just put it in there, it was exhausted. It appears to be 1 - 4 days old. I am making a water mix for it right now..would corn syrup work? (Corn syrup in the water.)

We had a chick just like that. We would try to get her to drink, but it didn't help. We had to go to the veterinarian who specializes in chickens anyways, as we had just taken a hen there who had died, and we just brought the chick along. When they saw it, they took it and said they would call if there was any improvement. We never got a call... I hope you have better luck with your chick.
