As for getting it under her tongue her beak is barely bigger than my pinky nail width so I'm not sure how to hold her to get that done. But she does accept the water it seems. Try as I might to get her to drink on her own she won't though.
So I did get her to eat some, and I have seen her eating- I was able to coax a few drops of water in and basically everytime she starts going off I try again. I don't have any of the nutri stuff but can take a trip for it tomorrow, just concerned about the now. She is much more lethargic today...
I think that in a week or so they will all have started feathering out much more, and I can post updates then. I am going to be posting up another thread for the gray one for some size/crop/behavior concerns also. I'll set the link here just in case you happen to have any advice on that too...

So the second comb in this picture, where it is smooth is the how all their combs except three look. It isn't as "bumped up" as in this image, but they are definitely smooth. The Rhode island reds both have ridges and the darker of the black chicks has a ridge as well, the smaller one in my...
So the two chipmunk yellow ones are a bit on the smaller side, however the lighter one isn't much smaller than the one in the back (she was just laying down and the other was "puffing" up at me). All of the chipmunk looking chicks have yellow legs/skin. In fact, all but the black chicks have...
Hey all! So I got a batch of 10 chicks from tractor supply. 3 olive Eggers, one of which is way more white on the bottom with much heavier feathers on the leg so I am debating if it's a color difference or a different breed. Three chipmunk like chicks - two of which are more yellow/cream colored...
