*Urgent* Chick slowly dying

[Omar234]

Hi, ( first time chick breeder here) I’ve got a chick that I think fell in the water bowl and ever since may have broken its leg, it’s intermittently flexing, sometimes gasping for air, refusing to eat , only drinks when i drop some water on its beak, can’t stand , doesn’t try to walk anymore its eyes are puffy and closed since two days ago , I gave it honey and sugar water , i seperated it from the others as it was getting trampled , i gave it extra warmth . I’m out of ideas . Please if someone who knows anything I can do to save it it would be hreatky appreciated otherwise i’m thinking of putting it down. I really don’t know what to do

The chick is 5 days old but isn’t growing like the rest it’s very small compared to the others

Welcome To BYC

Can you please post photos of the chick?

A video of her actions may be helpful - upload video to youtube and provide a link.

How far did the chick fall that she would have broken her leg?

I am not as knowledgeable as @Wyorp Rock, but I have a question or two. Was this chick ever as lively as the others? Did it ever run around, eat, chirp and act like the others? If so, when did it start going downhill? Was it perfectly fine until it fell in the water? And how long was it in the water before you noticed and got it out?

Yes, it wa perfection fine running around and playing with other chicks and then there was one time i looked in the brooder pen and it looked all wet and then thats when things went really downhill, it never started eating as it’s condition got worse before the chicks had picked up the habit of eating and drinking . The only thing it will eat is raw egg yolk and that’s about it. When I noticed it was all wet it was lying under the heat lamp with the others trampling on it

Sorry I can’t help. Hope she is gong to be fine. But Im afraid she won’t make it bc she looks quit miserable.
Giving water with electrolytes (honey, pinch of salt), from the top of your finger is good. And egg yolk is probably the best you can give to the poor thing.
Dont give up. Sometimes miracles happen you know.
