Urgent help! Chick dying

[Nbullinger]

Is there any hope for this chick? I have a dropper with warm water and sugar and it swallowed some but the eyes are clouded over. I have it wrapped up in a heated blanket right now but immediately put it in my cleavage while I was on the way home trying to keep it warm

It looks more like the eyes are closed, but I may be wrong. Can you continue to drop some sugar water into the beak, and possibly get some Poultry NutriDrench or Poultry Cell and give it a couple of drops daily for a few days. Look for any poop stuck to the butt and remove it. Keep it warm. Do you have a brooder and heat lamp set up at home?

Yes I have a brooder and a heat plate. I have this one separate from the other chicks right now wrapped in a heated blanket

Another one is shaking and trying to chirp it sounds like. Definitely more active than the first one

Offer all electrolytes or sugar water. Were these chicks from a feed store or breeder? Make sure they are warm in about 90 degree heat. Sprinkle a few chick crumbles on some paper towel around their feet once they are drinking. She them water and dip their beaks.

Perhaps a lukewarm solution of salt water (to taste) applied gently to the eyes with an eye dropper would help. Salt would help clear any infection, as would colloidal silver if you have any of that handy.
Definitely keep the lil duckling warm; wrap the duckling in a clean dry dish towel & place the bundle in a 5/gal bucket with a clamp-style lamp turned on, above him.
Hope this helps!

It died. There are 3 others I'm working on giving electrolytes

Sorry that you lost the chick. Hopefully, you can save the others. Where did they come from?

I do have CS!! I don't have a lamp but could I perhaps put them into an incubator?
