This is my only real hope and only real active forum

Ok right now we're sad and having a hard time Calsifer one of my EE chicks that's 3 days old is weak won't eat or drink. I don't want to lose her she was good the first day and had some personality hence her name... I only just got her to drink by mixing water chick start ground to flour consistency and chick boost probiotic and she took a good amount and finally popped green I just don't know how often to feed her to get her strength back I think the shipping process left her to dehydrated and malnourished she did perk up and want back with her flock I just need to keep her nutrients and water up

If you have a tractor supply nearby I would get some nutridrench. @RubyNala97 suggested it for my weak hatchling and it was like reviving her from near death. It really does work wonders. You can also use save a chick electrolytes and probiotics together in the water. Just don't use with the nutridrench. Not sure if it's ok or not. Watch for paste up.. good luck.

Thank you so much I'm trying for this girl and she is seeming stronger I made a liquid mash of chick start this

Sugar and ground up meal worms all the consistency of flour mixed with water. I'm keeping a good eye on everything else so she doesn't get backed up

Oh my god so happy I could cry

She's no where near out of the woods but she just started to drink on her own out of the water and her poo is becoming more normal

Additionally: checked her this morning she's still weak with an empty crop so we'll she if we can get her some energy with some feeding with the syringe
