I have two, one day old chicks that are coming along slowly. One is sitting up, but still unable to get it's feet directly underneath itself and raise up....I've helped steady it, but it just doesn't seem to be strong enough yet....legs are straight....the other has been laying its head down all day, and here just recently has been slightly lifting its head. Same thing with it's legs though, they're straight but just can't get em underneath and raise up! I know they are good on food/ water for three days, but I've droppered a bit of water for them to maybe help build their strength. I read somewhere too that Gatoraide can help also. The weaker one barely will open it's eyes....peeps, moves, but eyes remain shut. They aren't gunked up, or watery, and I have seen them open slightly....but mostly remain shut! Any suggestions??
