I just got 12 chicks yesterday. All hatched Monday, and all seem to be doing well, except for 1. She seems pretty lethargic. Gets out from under the heater sometimes, but I don’t know that I’ve seen her eat, for sure. I’ve given her water with the vital pack in it, and also regular water, and the hatchery is closed, but their site says to try raw egg yolk for a lethargic baby, and water. She drinks and has eaten the yolk, but other than that, she’s not doing well. She’s got this crackly sound right where her belly is, and I can feel it crackle. It happens every 30-60 sec. I saw a previous post, but no outcome, does anyone have experience with this? What should I do to help her? I’d hate for her to die, and I don’t want her to be miserable. Sometimes she’s standing under the heater, other times, she looks dead. No movement unless I touch her.
I’m so sad.
I’m so sad.
