Dipped everyones beaks in water and scattered crumble for them and they are all chowing down like no tomorrow except the runty looking one. Tried dripping beak in water and she is just lethargic... barely opening eyes

She is moving a a bit more now, but....I don't know.

chicks!


give the Rock a little corn syrup if you have it. with a syringe. if you don't have a syringe, dip the end of a toothpick in and dab it (gently) right into the beak. it will absorb right into the blood stream.

(sugar water, as usually recommended can cause a nasty case of Pasty Butt)
 
Keep giving her the sugar water every couple minutes or so, dipping her beak 2 or 3 times each. Good luck!

Sugar water and the syringe...she perked up a bit after I gave it to her! So I wil go out again in a few mins and check on her, and redo the water.

She seemed eager tho to take it so she has got a will to survive I think ...
