PLEASE HELP

[Angel333]

My baby chick precious wont open her eyes much and she's sleep deprived. We have been giving her save a chick electrolytes and water and worms but she is still pretty weak. She does not get any sleep when left with the other three so I put her in her own box and since she is soo cold I rapped her in a fluffy blanket making sure her beak sticks out for air. I may have only gotten her 1-3 days a go but I already love and cherish her and I'm coming here as a help source.

How old is she? I would recommend getting her under a heated brooder light asap. If she is very young , she isn't ready for worms just yet. She needs to have grit to be able to digest. You might want to change her chick starter crumbles over to the medicated kind. .

Can you describe your brooder setup? How old is this duckling/chick? Do you have a heat lamp, since young babies need a heat lamp to stay warm? What are you feeding for their regular feed?
