Poorly chick

[pinknblackchaos]

I have a chick that is acting very tired. Falls to one side to sleep. You pick her up and she pretty well falls asleep immediately. Im perplexed. I don't know what is wrong or what i can do for her with what I have in house. No pasty butt, and everyone else seems to be warm enough, no visible injury. I have given her some sugar water and she has perked up some but still not as lively as the others. Please let me know what the problem could be or what I should do.

I would give some Poultry NutriDrench 2 drops orally or SaveAChick with water. Dip her beak often. Sprinkle some chick crumbles around her feet, and mix a little with water and feed to her with a dropper. How old is the chick? Is it pooping?

She is a week old. I haven't seen her poop but her butt is clear. I don't have any of those products for the chicks and we are "self isolating" so trying to not go out.

You can make some electrolytes to feed to her. Take a tsp of sugar, 1/4 tsp of table salt, and 1/4 tsp of baking soda, and add to a liter or quart of room temperature water. Feed that to her. Mix a little with some chick feed and feed that after you have gotten some water into her.
