two day old chick not as active as the other chicks

[Apples]

She doesn't seem as interested in walking around/eating/drinking as the rest. Is there some sort of home made supplement I can give her? TIA!

Does she seem sleepy/lethargic? Or just kind of taking it easy?

She is definitely sleepy and lethargic. Now she is lying down, sorta sprawled out. I have dipped her beak tip in the water and she makes a very small effort to drink, not much!! I have her under the brooder light, and just don't know what else to do for her.

So sorry! Was going to follow up sooner on your post, but... Anyway, is your chick still alive? If so, try some sugar water in an eye-dropper. If this seems to give her some energy, add some finely-ground up feed to the sugar-water. If you can, give this to her every 20-30 minutes until she starts eating/drinking on her own. They make elyctrolyte (sp?) mixes for chicks, and these are probably better than the sugar water, but you said you wanted a "home-remedy." Hope this works!

She did pass away very soon after I posted. We had just brought her home, so I figured I did not even have time to go get the store stuff. I did try the sugar water as much as she would take. It happened so fast
