I have a little four day old chick who arrived in the mail yesterday, its wings are hanging, its wobbling and it appears weak.
What can I do to not loose it!

I have had success with taking a washcloth and dipping it into the save a chick solution. Put it up to the chicks beak and if it likes it it will suck on the cloth. This gets the electrolytes in it without it having to use its energy to get it. True some will not make it no matter what you do. Hope this helps!
