Something's wrong with this chick!!

[HeatherKellyB]

Do you have any Nutri drench?

 

[Nichole1]

I don't. I actually have no idea what that is

 

[Nichole1]

I gave her some sugar water through a syringe when I found her like that. I thought it couldn't hurt. We do that with calves and piglets that are sickly and weak to give them a boost. Is that OK?

 

[HeatherKellyB]

It's a poultry vitamin that's good for many different things, not a daily type of supplement, but in times of sickness it gives them a healthy boost of necessary goodness to help their body do the best it can do.
Is the chick still throwing its head back?

 

[Nichole1]

Right Now she seems really out of it. She's laying flat on her chest with her eyes closed but her wings still stretched out. I thought she was dead twice now but when I touch her she starts peeping like crazy and kinda flailing around?

 

[HeatherKellyB]

I believe sugar water is fine especially in instances like this. I've tagged some very knowledgeable people and until they have a moment to chime in, I would make sure she’s warm, so that's one less thing that her body has to do for itself.

 

[Nichole1]

Thank you so much. She's in the house now with a heat lamp and fuzzy sock nest. I hope to hear some more thoughts soon. Really appreciate your help!

Has she pooped? Their poop can really tell a lot about what's going on. If she's pooped, please take a picture and share it on this thread. Maybe check the brooder to see if there are any different looking poops from before you isolated her

 

[HeatherKellyB]

Have you asked the hobby farm that you got her from if any other chicks are/have experienced the same thing?

 

[Nichole1]

She hasn't since being brought in but I'll definitely go check the brooder now
