Weak chick

[GraceyMayy]

Hello, so I have a baby chick that hatched on Tuesday and I recieved yesterday. She is very weak even after nutri drench, egg yolk and lots of electrolytes. She is laying on her side taking labored breaths. Help.

Side note. I already have a flock of 11 so not super new to chicken keeping but this little one is giving me a rough time for sure.

You did what you could with the nutrition and egg but sometimes it happens. Not all creatures are meant to survive. Survival of the fittest.
Without large prenatal staffs and many millions of dollars of equipment, many fewer human babies would survive.

I'd be doing what your doing, besides keeping it warm which I'm sure you are as well. I'd have temp at around 90-95F.

I hope she makes it, but like @ChickenCanoe says, not all were meant to survive.
