Nursing a Sick Chick Tonight - Update

[Lora C]

Ive been keeping a close eye and giving special attention to a week-old Chick that started acting lethargic two days ago. Im a 'newbie' so i came here first for your advice. Have been giving Poly-vi-sol drops and electrolyte solution today and will continue to watch her through the night. Hoping for a good outcome. Thanks

Praying for you!! I had a chick that had wry neck and I was up for 3 nights straight worring about her. I was about to cull her but waited and darned if she didn't pull through! She's my very special little chick.

She's hanging in there today - a little more active, now holding her head up and peeping occasionally. We've named her 'Sunny". I've tried to add a cute picture i took this morning of my 6 year old daughter holding Sunny during one of her treatments

Thanks for all of your help

Feed her scrambled egg (Cooled) mixed with cottage cheese. 50/50 mix. This will give her more nutrition and more energy. It always works for me. Good luck. Looks like your little one couldn't be in better hands.

Sunny seems to be back to normal - She must have been just a little stressed from her journey here. A week ago she couldn't hold her head up and today I found her playing "king of the castle" with her brooder-mate named Bacon (I know..my kids named them).

She needed a little extra TLC and thanks to you guys, i knew just what to do.
