In the Brooder
Hello, I have never raised chickens before but my friend was given a chick for free and asked me to take care of it.
Since it was only one chick, I went to an auction and got three polish chicks to keep my chick company. However, once I brought them home, all three of them turned out to be sick!
I was unsure of what to do, but I only have one heating lamp, so I put all of them into the same tank to stay warm overnight.
Now all four of them are sneezing, some of their stool is bloody, and the smallest of the polish chicks is pretty lethargic and hangs its wings down a lot.
I am feeding them medicated chick starter, and I have fed them the yolk of a boiled egg for breakfast the last two days. I'm also giving them electrolytes in some of their water.
If there is anything else I can do, please let me know! Any help would be appreciated!
Here are some pictures of them:
