Welcome to BYC!

I'm sorry to hear your chick is feeling poorly. Try posting over on the emergencies/illness forum, give a complete description of the signs she is showing, how old she is, all the details you can think of that may help someone identify her situation.

Good luck to you and your little one.

Maybe some Poly vi sol without iron ...
Get a dropper and some maple syrup if you have any and just drop it onto her beak....
Poultry Garden dusting powder.... pretty much kills the lice immediately...
Hopefully she will perk up and get better....
Make sure she's alone where she can't be picked on and rests....

IF she is that ill, would you consider taking her to a vet.? By the time you get replies it could be too late. Have you tried giving her tempting treats, cold watermelon would get fluids into her. Some ill birds love finely mashed egg yolk, plain vanilla yoqurt. Offer her anything you think she will eat.

Thank you I will try anything so worried about her, yes I rang two vets they both said they don't really see chickens but I can take her in if I want to, so I feel that would be a waste of time and will stress her out for nothing, I think I will get better advice from everyone on hear than them
