I have a 2 day old Delaware. Her eyes kept shutting. Her legs got weak Her eyes looked green around them. I gave her 1 drop of Nutri-drench and electrolytes. We got 10 that we pre ordered, the rest seem fine. She’s not gonna make it. Any ideas here. I realize this isn’t much info.

Hi Betsy,

Did you check her butt for pasty butt? If she's okay there, then this is most likely a failure to thrive (FTT) chick. I've had a couple of those through the years, and 50/50 whether they make it. Just keep trying to get it to eat/drink and be sure it's at around 95F at the base of their brooder so it's not chilled.

Did you get these from a hatchery or are they yours or local ones?
