Uh oh, poor baby...any ideas?

I wish I could. I rarely have pasty butts on my chicks, but I incubate my own. I may find one once in awhile. Whenever I have a problem with a chick, not walking, laying around a lot, falling over, etc. I always stick them back in the incubator for a day or so. It has always seemed to help me.

Do you have a heat source on her? Maybe the bathing chilled her and she needs more warmth.

I will keep good thoughts

I wish I had something to add but it seems as though you are doing everything you can. Just keep the fluids and nutrition going. Have you tried giving polyvisol? I give it the first moment I see anything strange with my chicks. Keep us posted.

I had one too and no matter how hard I tried she still died.

Amazingly, she's still hanging in there. I put food in front of her where she can stretch out her head and eat it and I lift her up and dunk her beak in the water so she can drink. She's still not walking. I don't know if I'm doing her any favors feeding and watering her as, if she can't get over whatever happened to her legs, she won't be able to manage anyway. I'll give her another night.
