Tired and inactive chick

[Quackers_]

Hello! I recently got 6 chicks 5-6 hours ago and I noticed one looking inactive and tired. She also wasn’t eating or drinking water on her own, instead she sleeps but she keeps stumbling back or lays with her legs spread. I hand fed her and gave her water but she still hasn’t move around on her own. The crumble I gave was medicated and the water had chick boost with probiotics, electrolytes, and vitamins. Is there anything I can do?

Maybe try giving her egg yolk or scrambled egg. Is her poop normal?

She had pasty butt but I cleaner her and the color was brown or dark greenish. Right now she barely interacts with the other chicks by pecking their beaks once or twice and dozes off to sleep.
I will try egg yolk or scrambled eggs in a bit!

Okay. I'll see what others chime in, I'm not sure what could be causing her tiredness. It's normal for chicks to be sleepy, but I don't think she should be off balanced, not interested in food, etc.

Where did you get the chicks from? Curious if they were shipped in to a store or from a friend.

I think you're doing the right things. I would make it some egg yolk with a few drops of Nutri Drench or Poultry Cell or whatever you've got for vitamins and give via syringe. Just hold the syringe to its beak and it should drink it. Do this again in an hour or two.
I've got a couple recovering that sound very similar. Yesterday I had 2 of 24 acting like that. Today they are fine.

This has worked for me:

Sorry about your chick, how is she doing?

I'd line the brooder cage with puppy pads for the first few days, easy clean up and better traction.

She's stumbling back, lays with her legs spread - hard to tell, can she stand up normally or are her legs spraddled?

I'd work on hydration and getting vitamins into her a suggested. Make sure your water station low enough where she can easily get to the water. If she's not drinking, continue to give her fluids a drop at a time. Chick starter can be given wet or mushy.

Water looks hard to reach, it's also open, chicks can easily drown, so you may want to put a few rocks in the container for footing or change to a chick water station.
