congrats to all those who have chicks hatching!
I had a bizarre chick experience.
This is Prissy & her 4 Tetra Tint/ SFH chicks.
The chicks are now 5 weeks. Yesterday morning I found the smaller pullet sprawled out in the run. I was sure she was dead but when I went to pick her up she was barely breathing. She was out running around with her hatch mates the night before.
I held her in the sun, she was cold & couldnt hold her head up.
I brought her inside, wrapped her in a towel, gave her some gatorade from a syringe then she slept. 2 hours later I gave her some more gatorade, she was trying to sit up. I gave her some feed & she ate like she was starving. She napped again on the towel. 2 hours later she was back to normal! She went out last night to join her family. This am she was fine.
I guess she was just cold?
