overheated chick

[drelleng]

Have a 5 week old olive egger chick that looks like it got overheated (very quiet, won't eat or drink), all the other chicks of the same age are fine. Have her in a cool room, trying to get her to drink. Any suggestions? OK to spray with water?

Overheated how?
Heat lamp or outside?


No do not spray her with water.
Can you upload a short clear video of her to Youtube real quick?

Hold her wings out from her body (maybe even use a hand held fan) I apply small drops of water behind my oldest chickens gobbels and hold her wigs out when she over heats. I also give water out of a red apple juice container lid. Dip her beak in it and sometimes i have to tilt it for he tho. Just a little water at a time. As far as eating try something more intresting the feed.
