week old chick, lethargic, green poo

[kittykorat]

I have 24 chicks in the brooder. One is not looking well. She just lays there...

I saw her poop and it was green.

They all had mareks vaccination.

The others are running around and look fine...

They were shipped from Meyer last monday and didn't arrive till thursday, and one already passed, but that one arrived looking pretty bad...

Does it look like she is being picked on? Try separating her. Give the baby extra vitamims. Dribble a couple of drops of polyvisol (no iron) on her beak every day.

I separated her. I fed her egg yolk, made sure she was drinking.. she passed yesterday.

Sorry. I just saw your original post. This forum has grown so big that sometimes unanswered posts get buried pretty quickly. Sometimes chicks just have internal issues that are beyond our control. They tend to have a higher mortality rate than other animals.
