Sick Chick

[Yep I Talk To Chickens]

I have an Amber link chick that is sick. I just got uer yesterday and ahe was doing fine. This morning she started going down hill but got a burst of energy, then went downhill again. She won't eat or drink on her own. I have to dip her beak in the water to get her to drink. I've been keeping her hydrated and I gave her some honey water. But she still seems sluggish. Does anyone have any idea of what I can do to help? She still yells when I pick her up, but she doesn't run away from my hand like my other chicks, and she is alot smaller.

Help, I think she is getting worse.

Update:
She is doing alot better. I saw her drink on hwr own (not sure about eating though) She is trying her best to run around with the others, and is still sleeping alot. Still if you have any advice to make sure she stays on the path to recovery let me know!

That last pic had me really worried. I hope she continues to do better.

I swear by NutriDrench. Just a drop usually perls chicks right up. If you have some, I'd try that. And just make sure she's warm, of course, and that she doesn't get trampled.

Update:
She has pastey butt, from not getting enough water. She is still doing good. Still eating and drinking on her own. She even ran from my hand when I chexked up on her this morning. But she is starting to wind down and is currently sleeping.

Update:
Last night she started going down hill. I am again keeping her hydrated. I am worred about her she can't keep her eyes open, all she does is sleep.

Update:
She is drinking if I put her next to the water same with food. But she won't go to the water and food on her own. She isn't eating alot and is sleeping all the time. What should I do?
