Ok...we got our chicks from the PO and separated the sick/injured ones from the healthy ones...I was wondering a few things...
What would you recommend feeding the weak chicks?
There is one chick who is really weak...is there something i can do to help him?
Also...there is one in there who is limping ...if it is permanent would he survive adult hood? (He is a standard brahma...)

Might have some more questions/concerns...
 
Oh no! one of the chicks is almost dead

! He is barely moving and wont eat or drink...
 
Oh, no, I feel so bad for you. So sorry to hear the little guy didn't make it. I hope the other 3 make it. What does the bad leg look like? Is it treatable? The quicker you try to fix it the better the outcome may be. You can try feeding diluted Pedialyte, or Poly vi sol (liquid baby vitamin) by dropper or syringe dripped on its beak. or some hard boiled egg yolk. Search the Forum for feeding weak chick. Hope they will be ok. Sending good vibes your way.
