Weak Baby chick help please

[dunnmom]

do you guys think it’s a prolapsed vent ??

Maybe a mild one. Preparation H should take care of it. Just clean it and put the ointment on 3 times a day.

It may be panting if it's hot, which could be the reason it looks like it's swallowing water. What temp. is your brooder box?

Yes I got some electrolyte solution for it to drink by itself and it lays down like this and it opens it’s little beak and it’s like swallowing , but has nothing inside

With the water I gave it , it’s active and going now but it’s just it’s leg and when it’s laying down it opens its beak and it’s like if it’s swallowing or drinking something

O.K. Now it's a bit easier to see the leg. It could be splayed out a bit. Try hobbling your chick to see if that help. Since it had trouble hatching and legs seemed to be in the wrong position, you may not be able to correct it, but you can try.
I would try getting vitamins into her. 1-2drops Poultry Nutri-Drench direct dose per day. Will this little chick eat? Sometimes if they are very small, you need to crush the chick starter up to make it finer or you can wet it to make a mash.

The swallowing, I'm just not sure about, it could be this chick has not fully developed internally or has some other issues. Again, it may be failing to thrive. Give her a day or two, see if she will eat/drink on her own and if you can get the leg corrected.

Just curious if it was a late hatching chick. I just had 2 late hatchers that had curled toes. They weren't in very good shape for about 2 days. Slow, lethargic, wobbly. Falling onto their backs, and having trouble righting themselves. They seem to be better now, so I'm hoping your chick will come around similarly.

@dunnmom curled toes - give Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) or get some PND into them 1-2drops per day.

Well if it’s eating and drinking and pooping then it is doing better! I’m no good at splints, never made one before, but just search it up and you should find something telling you what to do!

What do you mean by no tail bone?
Can she poop on her own or only when you put her in water?

She can poop but I clean her little butt and what I mean is that it has no tail like this part

Time will tell, but....the tail may come. A lot depends on breed.
