Newborn chick lethargic eyes closed

[twink90]

i have 1 chick that's not getting stronger like everyone else. It just lays there with no life. Is there anything I can try to give it to increase energy?

Give the chick some vitamin electrolyte water, and dip it's beak as often as you can to get him to drink. Raw egg can also be given. It can be common to have a weak chick, or one that suffers from shipping stress. If they were shipped, I would give them all some electrolytes in their water.

Thanks I do have save a chic & will mix some up right now. Is it only good for 24hours?
Eggs are local so not sure what happened. It was one of the last eggs to hatch.

I lost it which sucked but still ended up with 11 out of 15 babies. Thanks

Sorry for your loss. Good luck with the chicks.
