Please hekp! I found my baby chick in a state like this. He lies down and doesn't have enough strength to stand up. He was always super sleepy and he barely opened his eyes. He still peeps. Will he live? Please help! Can I do something for him?

Sorry you didnt get responses. Unfortunately it was likely because he wasnt gonna make it i do all i can to try as well but they rarely ever come back it is called a failure to thrive. Glad he had someone who cared enough to try. In this circumstance i dip their beak in water with electrolytes and orobiotics and poultry cell. That seems to work if anything will. I also used to tuck them into my beard but recently cut tgat off so will use a warmed dish rag and or a warmed potatoe. Yes i "waste" alot of time on these sickly ones. One turned out to just be blind. On ce i figured that out and compensated he thrived and is a happy family man now with a light brahma gal who has a hip issue that makes her stand and walk like a penguine. And she recently hatched an egg si they have a lil girl. Thats micro roo. Momba and baby bomba
