Possible blind chick

[Crazyfeathermama]

I have a 2 day old chick, she was injured in the shell to the point of bleeding. She is constantly chirping extremely loud. Not comfortable in the brooder, being held anything. Can anyone give me any advice? Please!!!!

Welcome. I'd suggest taking a couple photos and asking in the raising baby chicks section. Photos will help tremendously.

Have you tried feeding her by hand? Is she drinking? Pooping? Pictures would be helpful.

I have gotten her to drink some water from my hand, won't eat.

Do you have any electrolytes for chickens? If not, there is a recipe. I'll have to look it up.
Are there any visable injuries?

Yes I have electrolytes, the only thing I can see, is that one eye isn't open. Cannon see any visible injuries. I did get her to drink a couple drops of water and a taste of fresh yolk, from and egg laid today.

I have my fingers crossed that she will be stronger tomorrow. Keep an eye on her butt to make sure it doesn't get pasty due to stress and keep her warm. Good luck, and keep us updated.

Thank you, I have checked, no pasty butt, I was able to get her to take some yolk, water, and now she is warm and cozy, in her own little place. She will be staying in my room, beside my bed tonight.
