Sick Chick!

[puddlejumper]

One of my five babies is sick! I've been watching him and he hasn't grown like the others. He is lethargic and doesn't "peep" much at all.
There all around a month old, I thought maybe he is just younger as he is the only gold laced wyandotte of the bunch. This morning I noticed he had poop stuck to his butt. I remembered reading about that so I used a warm wash cloth and gently cleaned it away. I put him in a separate brooding area with one other silver laced wyandotte who is a little smaller than the others (three RI Reds...getting HUGE)and moved the heat source in closer. He seems so unsteady on his little feet now...I think I totally traumatized him! What do I do now???

OMG! I think he is going to die!! Now he is laying on his side!

Are there any other symptoms? Was there anything that you or anyone else did that could have possibly led up to this?

Sometimes some of them just don't make it no matter what you do.
