Newborn chick with no energy.

[Sublight]

I have been giving it water with some electrolytes, and it takes it well. It knows what im doing and it lets me. I hold it vertical, and it opens its beak and waits for the water. I have also been crushing up 4-5 crumbles of food each time and sprinkling it in its mouth, then washing it down with some more water.

It still has no energy. It just lays there with its eyes closed most of the time, but it cheeps when i pick it up.

I read somewhere else to add sugar to the water. Is this something I should try? Im open to suggestions!

I have found that the most important thing for newborn chicks is just to keep them warm. You probably know already but 95 degrees for newborns.

I do. It's still in the incubator cause I can control the temp. All it's siblings are active.

I need to get it moving.

Im so sorry you having this problem. And im sorry I can't be of more help, but I think what you are doing for it rn is best. I don't know what else you can do but keep it up and keep praying.
