Weak chick!?!?!

[OkieB]

Hello all. I received some chicks via USPS a little over 24 hours ago. One seems to be having a harder time keeping up/adjusting. She is still drinking but isn't running around or eating much. Just wants to sleep. No energy. I have Nutridrench. But I am not familiar with its uses. Can you give it to the chicks directly into their beaks? And if so how much? Thanks in advance.

Hey Okie,

I’m by no means an expert, but I had a day old in a similar situation.

Be thankful that she’s drinking; my baby wasn’t.

Try to give her the Nutri-drench from your hand, not directly from the dropper. She could aspirate the liquid if you try to dropper it.

Then get her under the heater. She’s probably stressed from travel.
