Good to hear I had a chicken who just had chicks 8 were born yesterday but today the last one was born but ants were trying to get it an I am sure I shouldn't have but I slowly and carefully moved it away from the ants with a grabber . Then it finally hatched out but it's extremely weak an the mother stepped on it an I'm worried it won't survive.
Oh thanks CC'sGardenThat person has not been online since 2014 it looks like. So you might not get a reply from them, but I'm thinking others will reply to you
Oh no! I'm sorry! Do you have any picture of it? I would post this in the Emegencies forums: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures.10/ make thread there and someone should help you soon!
Oh yeah, we're a talkative bunch
What questions do you have?
Can you take it inside and get it warmed up, maybe with a heating pad made into a little cave and get it drinking some electrolyte water? I'd go that route then see how it is doing after some warmth and hydration. If it's doing better slip it under mom early in the morning or tonight.
I don't know if it has opened its eyes but it has gotten up and walked a few steps then just laid back down
The mama is next to her but not doing anythingCan you pick her up off the ground and bring her inside? Give her some warm sugar water or electrolyte water . She looks like she might not make it
Keep her warm! How long has she been without her mama?
