Weak chick

[Sc_chickengirl]

Ya'll I have a really weak chick. Its only a few days old. This morning I started noticing that it was acting a little sick or something. Well now this evening its flipped over on its back twice, and is peeping with its eyes closed. Any suggestions on what I can give it to help it? If it keeps on like this I'm afraid it will be dead before morning.

Should I try warmed yogurt? I saw that online.

Do you have any Poultry Nutri-Drench? Give her 2 drops twice a day.

Can she drink on her own?
Is she the only chick you have?
How warm is your brooder? Temp please.
Any pasty butt?
Photo of chick and brooder are always welcome.

No I don't have any. No there is 8 of them. I'm using a heat plate to keep them warm so....none. I'll see if I can get some pics of it. This morning I found it upside down again, its very weak. The yogurt gave it a real lift last night though. Should I try sugar water?

You can give a little sugar water but I'd try to get some vitamins into her and see if she will eat a little wet feed. Do you have any poultry vitamins or human vitamins on hand?

Hopefully she'll perk up for you, sometimes a chick may fail no matter what you do.
