Ok now I'm scared I don't know what to do I went to do that but now he's kinda tossing his head back and opening and closing his mouth. I wrapped him up in a warm blanket but what does thin mean

Your chick is lacking vitamins either add some polytonine super booster into the water or if you want to go to tractor supply you can get Sav-A-Chick electrolytes here is a link to the electrolytes.

I can't go out right now would the sugar water and a pinch of salt mix work???

 

[jamesglasman72]

Yes that will temporarily work I like to generally give my chicks electrolytes for about a week and a half after they are hatched to help them off to a good start.

He won't take any and keeps opening and closing his mouth and won't open his eyes..

Try force feeding with an eye dropper, if that doesn't work then you will have to weight and see. Make sure that your brooder is warm enough 85 F to 90 F Is the temperature he needs to be kept at all times until he Is old enough.

Well you gave the chick a chance and did all that you could, but it wasn't meant to be. Sorry for your loss.
