Im also thinking she could be a runt. We had a runt roo and he had no medical conditions, however there are plenty of things it could be if she is.

Not that I know of. Tbere are no infestations, nd unless somthing haplened at the tsc then she want droped or anything.

As far as you can tell, she's not being bullied by the others or anything.
You said she was sick, then was fine, now sick again.
What made you think she was sick the first time? What made you think she was then fine?
Just trying to figure out what might be wrong.

Was she at any time, acting normal for a chick? How much are you handling her?

"Try adding 1 teaspoon sugar, molasses or honey to 1 quart of water. This sweet energy boost is great for the first few hours, then you'll want to switch back to plain water. FOOD For lethargic chicks, try feeding them raw egg yolk. This will provide the nutrients they need to begin eating on their own."

As far as I can tell she is not being bullied. I thought she was sick the first time because she would only sit there and sleep and was lethargic. And i thought she was fine again because she was running around and eating and drinking by herself. The first night and yesterday she was fine and acting normal besides the fact that she kind of scoits and can't balence well. I am only handling her when I need to. By that I mean when I get her to drink, and to check on her.

There have been a few other users here that have gotten chicks from tsc within the last few days that had similar problems as yours, they didn’t make it but keep trying for your baby! I still havnt heard if it was just a bad round of chicks from the hatchery or if there was a problem in shipping that’s causing all these chicks to have problems.
