Weak baby chick , HELP !!!

[chickencrazymad]

Can someone help who has something like this happen before ,We had a chick pip for almost 48 hours. we helped it out , maybe not the right thing but it's done.The chick is now very weak ( we pulled him out about 12 hours ago ) he is unable to stand and uses his head to move , when he does move, his bottom is quite puffed up and there is dry blood and he does not seem to move his legs. I read on a different forum about making a nest out of paper or cloth to keep their heads up is a good thing ? Has any one had any success with a chick like this ?
Thanks

This chick need nutrients for strength. Obviously it is stressed and this is affecting its ability to uptake helps you are giving it. Get a bottle of either Bovidr Labs Poultry Nutri-Drench; Pet Nutri-Drops ; or Goat Nutri-Drench. At your feed store or Tractor Supply Company. Give the chick one drop only by mouth. repeat as needed every 8-10 hours. Put 2 to 4 ml per gallon in its water. 4ml is for stress and 2ml is for maintenance. If the chick thinks the 4ml is too potent, back down to 2ml and that is ok. You can use the various formulas with the poultry usage and dosage instructions because... tho the Bovidr Labs formulas are species specific, they also meet the scientific standard for a universal dosage. Buy a 3 ml syringe when you are at the store. Safely dispose of the needle. Use the syringe to measure the formula. It's much easier than guessing, smile.
These Bovidr Labs products do not need to be digested. They mainline directly into the bloodstream. Measureable in the bloodstream in 30 minutes. with 99% utilization. I have used them on my collies and poultry for over a decade. Great stuff. I put 2 ml in my chicks' water every day for the 1st month of life to get them off to a strong start. I do not have sick or "sudden death" chicks. Bovidr Labs products were developed by a cattle breeder who was seeking an emergency nutritional supplement for farm animals. Here is where you can read more about them. http://www.nutridrench.com/

Last season I raised all my chicks on Goat Nutri-Drench ( using the poultry formula dosage and usage instructions) and had good success. Never lost or had a sick chick. The formulas are very concentrated and the small bottle should be about all you need for the season. I have the usage and dosage instructions I stated above directly from a conversation with the science techs at Bovidr Labs. I did not make them up from my own experience.
