Thank you! Fingers crossed. This is my first time hatching chicks so already a traumatic experience lolll. My main concern is not getting a supplement fast enough for her. Only one I can find for next day delivery is poultry booster
I’m so glad she’s going to be alright.Thank you for your response! Her right side definitely got hit harder, her eyes starting to swell some and won’t open eye. Keeping a close eye on her hoping the swelling goes down
Once the swelling is gone, you’ll be able to see if there’s damage. Please keep us posted!!!
You mean like electrolytes? You can make your own if you're in a pinch.
Thank you!!!
Yes I will! She’s gonna be in the house with me until her wounds are healedI’m so glad she’s going to be alright.
The right side of her face has seem to finally stop, just cleaned again and applied polysporin to the area. I think the right side got pecked closer to her eye. I work at a vet clinic so Monday will take home antibiotic drops for her eyes
. Clean the wounds with saline, or warm soapy water twice a day, then put the plain antibiotic ointment on it. The rooster booster will work for her as an electrolyte boost, however she might not drink much since she's newly hatched. Keep an eye on her if you see bright green poops you may need to show her how to eat. For now, keep her warm ina brooder and put a little mirror and maybe a toy to snuggle with.
Ok, glad it stopped, poor baby
I ended up ordering these products (pictures below) I’ve been using a dropper to offer her water and she’s been taking it. I have her in a cardboard box at the moment in the house with heating plate since my brooder is way to big for her in the state she’s in…. I’d feel bad putting her in there. She’s snuggled up in a blanket at the moment chirping away. I really hope she makes a full recovery. There should be more chicks hatching soon hopefully. Once they do I’ll put her in the brooder.Ok, glad it stopped, poor baby
