Hey, i just got eight baby chicks yesterday. Four buff brahamas and four Easter eggers, cute little things. One seems to be not doing so well, she barley moves and won't eat or drink anything. Iv been giving her water with a medicine stopper and put electrolytes in thier water. She has a red bump near her butt. Anyone have any advice?

Did you get them shipped or were they local?

When got my order of chicks and one was weak, someone here recommended raw egg yolk. It worked for me. I just warmed it up a little and used a dropped to feed it to her.

I have no idea about the red bump though. Is it on her vent, or next to it?
 
Its next to her vent. Shes been really lethargic since i brought her home, she isnt moving around much but will move a little when i pick her up and has her eyes closed. I got her at a local shop but they just got the shipment of chicks in that morning. Iv been trying to get her to drink water and i seperated her from the others. I just tried the egg yolk with a medicine stopper, im hoping it will help. Thank you for that advice
