sick chick? PLEASE HELP

[TownhouseSeramas]

I have a chick that seems to be weakening and loosing weight. it keeps opening and closing its mouth and peeping like it has the hic-ups. Its sleeps all the time and hardly moves. Is there anything I can do?

How old is it? And how long has it been showing these symtoms?

A week old today and it's been showing these syptoms since yesterday, but she feels really thin, like maybe this has been going on for a little bit longer.

Is she on the medicated chick feed? (it prevents coccidia). And is she under about an 80-85 degree heat source?

 

[TownhouseSeramas]

Yes to both

Does anyone know what this might be???

You can try giving her a little warm sugar water as a "pick me up." What does her poop look like?
