Sick baby chick??Please help!!!

[coolchicken007]

My Polish baby has been very quiet since yesterday. She's been making clicking noises when she breathes and has her beak open sometimes. I'm really worried about her!! There is no discharge from her nostrils either. I don't know what to do....

Also, I just noticed, she's breathing really fast. Please help!!!!!

Are the other chicks messing with her at all??? Will she eat drink? Can she stand up okay? How old is she?

No other chicks are messing with her. She can eat and drink, but is havign a hard time with standing up right now. She's 11 days old

Um, you might want to separate her off by herself in a box or someting and make sure it's all nice and warm there, too . Are her eyes open or shut? Is she skinny at all?

Sounds like a definate respitory issue.

Seperate it right away. I am not a vet but you need to seperate it and try to do some research (depending on what you see as symptoms) and try to figure out if it is treatable or if it needs to be culled.

Please do some serious research before you do anything outside of seperating it. You don't want to get the others sick too.
