I assume these chicks are in a brooder, but even if they are with momma hen in the barn.

The best advise I can offer is to feed them medicated chick starter and add Penicillin G Potassium and Streptomycin Sulfate to their water.

Stress and Chronic Respiratory Disease are the usual suspects in chick mortality.

Go to your local feed store or even a pet store and ask for water soluble tonic.

Poly-tonine A , Super booster , are just two of the products available.

The faster you do this the more chance your sick chicks have for survival but it is not a miracle cure. Try to start them out on day one with at least the vitamin/med. water.

How long can a chick live in its shell after breaking through the air sac I have lost one chick in the shell already?

It can take up to 24 hours for the chick to complete its escape. It is best not to help the chick break out of the shell as you can damage the chick trying to help. There is a supply of blood in the shell membrane that will weaken the chick if broken early. Increase the humidity in the incubator, lack of moisture is the main reason for die off in the shell during peeping. try for 75% humidity.

How would you find a baby chick if it got lost?

Chicks will wander away in a farmyard. Mother hen usually will call it back to the brood but if that does not work, there are things you can do. Take mother hen and the rest of her family to a safe area. Bring mother hen back to the area you found her and she will make the right noise to call all her brood, the lost chick will likely come back. If that does not work, start searching any areas where the chick might hide like hay bales and long grass.


Will a lost bunny in your house come back?

As long as the bunny is not stuck somewhere it should come back.However, you need to have a really good look, because if the bunny is injured or stuck somewhere she will end up starving/dehydrating to death. Look behind tight spaces, in pianos (it has been known) anywhere you can think of that the bunny could have crawled.


How does a chick get oxygen while developing inside the egg?

Like all embryos, a chicken in the egg does not require air to breathe until such time (approximately day 19) when their lungs develop enough to use the small amount they need. When it is first laid, the egg is full of yolk and albumen. At that time there is no air space as it is not required. The egg shell is porous. Moisture is lost through the shell over time and the moisture is replaced by air. When we breed chickens on the farm, we keep the small end of the egg up so the air collects above the developing chick. This air will be used by the fully formed chick inside the egg while it "PIPS" its way out of the shell at day 21.
