How old is she? Have you tried getting her to drink water with electrolytes? How does the poop look?

 

[Jessica Thompson]

Her poop is watery and I have no electrolytes I used sugar water and egg yolk but sadly I think she is dieing she is very weak I don't think she's going to make it

How old? If she is a few days old, I would dip her beak into the sugar water every few minutes letting her drink. If she is more than 2-3 weeks old, she may be suffering from coccidiosis if she is having runny poops.

Was she a shipped chick or from a feed store? Do you have heat on her? Have you checked for pasty butt?

She is dead

I read some of your other posts. I would get some Poultry NutriDrench to give a few drops orally, or SaveAChick electrolytes for the water to have around since you are hatching chicks. Sorry for your loss.
