Something seriously wrong

[Vhope77]

help these two chicks have become very weak they just flop around their eyes wont open and they won’t make any noise just keep opening and closing their beaks they seemed weak when they came out of the incubator so I gave them some poly vi sol now I can home 4 hours later to them super unresponsive idk what’s wrong I tried giving them some different bird vitamins but they are not doing well what could it possibly be

How long were they in the incubator after hatching?
How did you administer the polyvisol?
I know in your other thread you had some incubator temp trouble, it could be that.
But show us your brooder setup.

I have never incubated chicks, but I have lost a few day old to week-old chicks. The behavior you describe is similar to what I’ve seen when I’ve lost them. Hopefully someone more experienced will chime in soon to offer help. I’m sending you good juju for a positive outcome.

I have four different incubators the one I posted about before is a different one this time is a new one The incubator temp was fine but I did have a chick hatch that had its intestines out got blood everywhere this was a day ago so bacteria could be growing in the incubator rapidly

What is the exact temperature in the area they have been today?

You can try to see if they will take a drop of water at a time...given to the side of the beak.

I’ve dropped some vitamins on the side of their beak the one drank it the other now is seeming like it is stuck in its throat they are seeming a bit more responsive then a few minutes ago

Vitamins have to be digested.
If you had Nutri-Drench, which has both vitamins and electrolytes, it would be much better.
Can you get some ND quickly?

 

[Vhope77]

No I can’t no where in my town sells it or I would have it the bird vitamin I am using has probiotics and vitamin mineral and amino acid

Have you gave a drop of water and do you have a calibrated thermometer in with them....where ever they have been.
I'm confused...you've been keeping them in an incubator?

 

[Vhope77]

No they have been kept in a brooder took out of the incubator after they hatched
