Hi,
I posted earlier but maybe didn't give enough information. This little chick is clearly in distress. She isn't droopy. Her eyes are clear. But she holds her head to the side and can't stand up. I dip her beak in the electrolyte water but she isn't very interested. I still insist she drink something. I wish I knew whether to medicate her with antibiotics or if it is a parasite thing or what. There may be a little blood in her stool. I have her in a little box near the brooder light so she can still hear the other peepings going on. If anyone has any inkling please let me know.
Thank you,
Linda
