I brought the chick in earlier today as it was not looking right. Not eating or drinking and the 2 mommas had almost covered her in the straw etc that is in their brooder.
The chick died about an hour later. It looked like wry neck, but man, she went fast. Even after I got some electrolytes with vitamin E and some yogurt in her.
My question is, should I replace the chick that died, the mommas have 2 others that are looking okay at this point. I do have 8 chicks in a different brooder that hatched about the same time. Do they know they are missing one? And would they accept another chick?
They will be 2 weeks old on Sunday.
