Oh yall...I've posted, reposted and PRAYED!
The last baby made it through the night and is definitely weaker than yesterday and just rocking back n forth.
I hate seeing it suffer...it has to be suffering right?
Nobody responded to all my threads bout this little one.
Have yall ever had to cull a baby chick?!

The lil black one is scared to death of me this morning after the vet wrap I did on its little legs last night to try and help its legs....I thought I would give it a rest during the night then put it back on this morning...

Ugh need help n prayers please!

be patient. some of mine were weak but they are ok now. I cannot understand which ones were weak. I think your chicks are not as bad. vitamins, honey water, sesame seeds, etc. can help them. it might take about 2 weeks for them to get better.

How much honey to water? How often sesame seeds? Just put handful in with their food?

Remember my little polkie was soooo wobbly, her head was literally just rolling around. I think she wasn't necessarily suffering,because she didn't know anything otherwise, but it had me stressed. I added poultry vitamins to the water for 4 weeks.. really never thought it would kick in. But if its neurological, it just takes times. Youre talking nerves and brain receptors growing. All you can do is offer supplements and if its body responds, it responds, if it doesn't.. well you know you gave it everything it needed to do what it could. Vitamins is really all you can do right now.

And Betty is so bossy and cute now!!! So it can work!

Add a drop of nutridrench to its mouth, and the rest to the waterer. And dont stare at it 😆 you're going to drive yourself crazy. I had to give it its one drop, fix the water, then leave. I just made sure to help her get to the water here and there, but getting worked up will only cause anxiety for you and not help the chick at all (im speaking as a person who gets those phantom pains when i see people or animals in pain.. i know how youre feeling).
