Worried about this little girl

[JGreenwell]

Can anyone help me? This chicken was just laying down and was sleeping a lot. I got her to take some yolk and water. I got some nutri drench and put some in the water. It hasn't tried to eat yet or drink on its own. Just by syringe. Any advice will be great. It just finally stood but seems off balance then is just laying down again and sleeping a lot. I have ground up food and tried to give in a syringe. She will try when she not super tired. Also giving electrolytes. She is much smaller then the others. Not sure if her crop is impacted cause when she does take anything in its very very little.

I'd give her a direct oral dose of the PND twice a day. Give her 1-2drops, see if she perks up a bit.

Have you seen her walk at all?
Where did the chicks come from?

What is the temperature in the coolest part of the brooder. Chicks need heat, but they also need to be able to move away from the heat

Usually stay around this 75 area or go under the heat lamp

Came from TS

We have tried giving her that straight to the mouth, liquid food, and water. She isn't wanting to even eat now legs are out to the sides and she is shalow in breathing. She is still moving around her neck a little. She tried to walk but barely could and balance was off. She would just stand there and rock til tired then laid down.

PND is Poultry NutriDrench. You can warm a small shot glass or wine glass or padded cup, and place her in that near the heat. A hobble made out of strips of vet wrap or a bandaid cut longways can be used to bring her legs together about an 1 1/4 inch apart. Try feeding some raw egg and mushy chick feed.
