[CHICKENS-101] Weak Chick

 

My husband and I bought another dozen mixed heavy chicks yesterday evening. When we got home and put themin the brooder, we noticed that one of them was looking a bit weak. This morning he seems to be worse. He is pretty wobbly on his feet and only stands up when we pick him up, and even then, only for about 15 seconds beforehe plops down and does a face plant.
I thought he might be dehydrated, so I dipped his beak in water, but he isn't interested in the water.
Is there anything I can do to help this little chick?
