Please help, it’s urgent

I think you probably broke it's neck or at the least somehow pinched it's nerves.... why didn't you wait a little longer?
As they stated earlier, the chick kept getting worse and worse, waiting any longer would only serve to lengthen the time of suffering. 24 to 48 hours is what I personally would consider appropriate to see if they were going to get better. It was time to put the little one out of their suffering.
 
There's a thread on this site titled "What were the worst mistakes you made when you first got chickens?" (or something like that) It's a long thread, we all have made mistakes, and most of us will make more at some time or other, too. Look it up, read it, and realize you are not alone, by a long shot. It's a good education in what not to do, also, I think all newbies should read it.
 
All I can do is learn to cope with it, I used to always count my chicks now it was always 14 now when I count it’s 13 and it breaks my heart somehow it’s constantly playing all over again in my mind but I’ll get through it hopefully
Im so sorry you've gone through this. But you handled it very well! Like others have already said.. we all make mistakes.... its not the mistake that counts, it's whether or not we learn anything in the process that counts! And you have learned a hard lesson.. Hold your head up, be proud of yourself for seeking help and being able to share your mistake with others. Its how we learn from one another.
Again.. You did well with the chick and now its time to let go, forgive yourself and care for and love the 13 who need you! :hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs

It could have been something like a temporary paralysis due to hanging the chicks head and pinching some nerves or whatever.

I would have waited a few more days, up to a week! Poor little chicky probably had more fight in him.

We all have to do what we think is best. I would have done the same thing as the chick was getting weaker and weaker. It's done. The OP feels badly enough the way it is. Let it go.
 
Hey

Guys I’m deeply saddened to tell you guys that I put her/him down, the chick wasn’t getting any better we tried everything, even save a chic but it wasn’t showing any condition of getting better it kept gasping for air and had became a lot weaker

As hard as it was to do, I honestly think you did the right thing. And please don't beat yourself up. A wise old teacher once told me, "We don't make mistakes. We have learnings."

We live. We love. We learn. We move on. Some lessons just come harder than others. Hugs are winging your way.

:hugs:hugs:hugs
