Howdy, and Welcome to Backyard Chickens.

Happy to have you here with us. Enjoy your time here at BYC!

Sorry to hear your chick is struggling, Sounds to me that it is a 'weak' chick. I'd raise the temperature of the brooder to 90 -95°F, at the bottom of the brooder or at the chicks level, also have a cooler end of the brooder, so it can get away from the heat if it wants too! You might try some Nutri-Drench, administered with a small syringe 'dropwise' on the side of the beak every hour or two....also have fresh water for it to drink. Other than that, there's not much you can do or have already done! Best wishes for it's recovery!

Thanks for joining our community!

Im going to start off by saying this is my first time EVER raising chicks, i have done hours of research but I'm sure there is something I am doing wrong. I am keeping the two 60w bulbs on and a steady temperature of 32-35 degrees Celsius. So my 3 melanistic mutant pheasants hatched 2 and 3 days ago, the runt of the litter is around 3 days old and has been acting strange. He is much skinnier than the other chicks, his feathers are more sparse, his eyes don't open very wide like the chicks, his legs are extreemly straight or hes flopped on his back he also hangs his head between his legs (he could be tired? and the other two are occasionally are tugging on his feathers. I have put him in his own invlosure with separate heat lamp food and water and is not doing much. He occasionally goes down to food bowl and falls asleep but most of the time he leans on his favourite stuffed animal for comfort. The others chicks seem to cheep for him. So I feel bad but I don't know what to do. Any advice would be appreciated as I am unsure of what on earth I'd going on and I really want him to survive and get well soon.

Update! I have taken all your advice and the chick now seems to be thriving! Happily cheeping and running round with the others, I have been feeding them wax worms which pippins (the runt) loves, thank you so much for all the replies. Pippins is looking much stronger and no more feather pulling is happening. Thank you again!
