Hey, I wanted to post to see if you guys can tell me anything else I could be doing.

The chick is 4 days old. She is weak, when she gets knocked over she can't get back up. She peeps until I set her upright. She just stands there "sleeping" and peeping most of the time. I've noticed she's not eating. She looks smaller than the others, which I just noticed today.

I have given her moist food every hour or so to make sure she's eating and drinking. I have given her nutri-drench on the tip of her beak. (tiny amount).

What else can I do?

ETA: I noticed this behavior on day 2 and have been watching her. Today it has gotten worse. Ya'll know how things kinda happen quickly. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Duh! That's a GREAT idea. I'll do that now. Thanks so much!


I separated her from the bunch. And she just ate a nice big amount.
