Not sure what breed she is
She was in a big tub of hundreds of chicks at the store I work at.
She is about 4-5 days old
She's not eating or drinking
She is pooping solid with some runny mixed in
She's been acting like she's dry heaving with no more than a sec or 2 in between each time. She makes what sounds like I broken squeaker noise each time.
Been happening for at least 5 hours.
She has her eyes closed most of the time.
Doesn't really move much. But she seems to have some feistiness to her at times when I'm holding her.
I've raised baby chicks before but they were all perfectly healthy. I took this chick home wth me because I couldn't let her stay at the store by herself to die.
She's been quarantined in a cardboard box since she was discovered with this problem about 5+ hours ago
Has a heat lamp
I think she's tired. She keeps nodding off but continues to make those movements and sounds.
I was able to feed her some water with poultry electrolytes in it. And also gave her some yoghurt so she could have some food in her. All was done with an eye dropper.
Looked down her throat can't see anything.
Sorry for the jumbled mess. Just joined this a few min ago. I'm just so worried about this poor thing. I love near a tractor supply so if she somehow makes it through the nigh I might take her there and see if they know what's wrong or to get stuff to help.
Please help! I'm gonna try to post a video.
