One of my girls is sleeping more. Anything to do?

[Sunshine_Amy]

Hi everyone, I got my chicks yesterday in the mail. They had only one day of travel and arrived seemingly in great shape all are doing well but one is definitely sleeping about three times as much as the others today. She has come out to eat and drink a few times, just not as much as I would expect.

Should u be worried ? Is there anything I can do?

Some take the ride harder than others so I'd let her rest. Just make sure she is drinking though as hydration is usually the first problem.

If she continues to not perk up, you could use an eyedropper or needleless syringe, or even a spoon and try feed her some raw egg yolk. If you have any poultry vitamins, like Poultry Cell or Nutridrench, put a couple of drops of that in it.

Hopefully she comes around.

Thank you.

Update: I gave her Nutri Drench and now she’s acting normal! I don’t know if it was the solution or a coincidence, but in any case I’m happy!
