New member with deformed chick

Date sort Score sort
The chick is surprisingly still alive I don't know what to do with it now...it's still in the incubator I put some tape on its feet to hold them flat so maybe it would stand up it's neck is straighter! I don't know if it's eating enough but I just soften chick feed and it will kinda lick it...wish it would just get up so I could put it with the rest of the chicks...
 
Wow! that is amazing! You could make a little cardboard box to go around it that way it could go into the brooder and the others won't mess with it. Sounds like your feeding it right and all. Good Job!

I put it in a thin cardboard box in the brooder and went to go feed it before bed and there he was standing up on his own!!!!!! Or her own!! So I read some stuff and it could be a vitamin B deficiency so I fed it some egg yolk and it ate it good and finally drank some water good too! I think it will get better! Alot of progress today!!!!

YAY! I love it when chicks get over injuries, which almost never happens in my experience
 
The poor thing just died! Dang it! It had poop all over it so I gave it a warm towel bath and then put it back in the box but I guess it layed on the cold side I picked it up and he got cold! Well that sucks but I guess that just shows how weak he was! And probably wouldn't of had a good life!
