Questions about small chicks!

[Taylerlynn]

The one I’m concerned about does this
And then he will start to stand up

 

[Taylerlynn]

This is a better one of him/her standing

I go get that tomrorow!

I like poultry Nutri drench TSC carries it it can even be given straight if one is having health problems. Others have used Save a chick. PND can also be added to their water. It’s great for giving a boost to new chicks.

Also how should i administer these vitamins to him/her

I will post a picture! But they are Barred Rocks although i do have one bantam but she’s doing great

You can give it to the chick directly via eyedropper or a plastic syringe, or mix it into their water. Ratios should be on packaging.

I just saw a really cool safe way to give it orally soak a q tip and place it up along the beak some will soak inside then just give the little one a chance to swallow before doing it again. Main thing is not getting too much and they aspirate. That is why never shoot anything down their throat. Just tiny drops along the beak. Or right inside the beak.

Thank you guys
He made it thru his first night! Seems to be more active today but i have noticed he kinda bends down like his body is too heavy for his legs but maybe that’s him just learning to walk?

Well update on that precious little chick... he passed about 20 minutes ago... i tried so hard to keep him alive. I really think he was sick. I gave him vitamins but it wasn’t good enough

So sorry. I've had a few this spring that did the same thing.
