HELP... ok, I have a 3 day old sweater chick. She was very weak and wobbly the first day and I found out she had spraddle leg. I fixed that quickly and it she is walking perfect on her own now, when she wakes for a few seconds... by the end of today she will be 4 days old and she doesn't eat, doesn't drink, and she freaks out when we pick her up to help her eat... I have dunked her head, tried to feed her, I have checked her bottom and cleaned it... she is a bit more active today and very vocal, but she still does not eat or drink and she sleeps as soon as you put her down...she won't even peck at things. I have also tried the electrolytes and sugar in the water...and tried sprinkling the food around the floor... And I know she's not blind because she goes crazy when I stick my hand in the brooder... what's wrong with my little baby?
