Super sick chick HELP

[cluckmecoop7]

I found one of my chicks lying on her side with her head bent back. She is still alive and peeping softly . I brought her inside and I’m giving sugar water. HELP

Oh I'm sorry. This happened to a couple of my chicks this year too I tried sugar water and everything... I think you should try your best but be prepared for the worst.

Electrolytes.. even Gatorade..
how big is your brooder? How many chicks are in there? Can they get away from the heat? What type of bedding are you using?

A large plastic tub from tsc. 18 chicks. Yes they can it’s a heat plate. Flake pine shavings

What kind of feed? If anything other than chick feed do they have grit? Sorry lots of questions but if we figure out what is causing the issue the easier to help.

For now do what your doing. Yes drop liquids on the tip of beak. It should swallow it. That's safer than trying to put it directly into Its mouth.

You brought her inside from where? Outside where it's possible she got too cold?

How big is the heat plate? Can they all fit comfortably?

They are out in a playhouse. It’s basically a mini house. I always make sure the heat plate is working.

Yes they all fit. It’s pretty big
