URGENT!! Chick looks weak....

[aurorarose25]

I just got a few chicks today for free from a hatchery for trade for by bator and one frizzle cochin babe is not really moving a whole bunch. I tried dipping its beak in some water and no major difference. What can I do???? Please help I don't want it to die, its my first and only frizzle bantam....

Have you tried Sugar Water! 3 table spoons per quart of water.

try the sugar water idea. We got one in the mail that wasn't doing well and my boyfriend held her and gave her lots of water with his finger until she came around. now she's doing fine. good luck!

I put one tablespoon in 1 1/2 cups of water is that ok? how long should it take to see improvements?

A couple days ago when I got my chickies a couple seemed to be rather weak too, the sugar water is good plus I added the Quik Chik, gave them a couple drops of PoloyViSol baby vitamins "no iron" and some crumbled boiled egg yolk, they improved alot after that now they are pretty quick little stinkers!

Good luck with your Frizz!

I hate to hear that your baby is so ill. I lost two babies with my past order. Both did that very same thing. They spasmed, gasped and died in my hand. Hang in there. My heart is with you.

could the sugar water be too strong?

I think it should be 2 Tablespoons per quart of lukewarm water how they doing?
