    Exactly, I always have a soft spot for the weaker ones, and it's really devastating when they don't make it

    Chick not growing?

    He is fluffed up but he can barely even stand up now :(, he's in the incubator right now where it's warm and away from the others, its been around five days since he hatched and I don't want to risk him choking on water if I dip his beak in, although I'll try. Thanks :'(

    He's deteriorating by the minute I really don't want to lose him, he stayed strong for 5 days and I hope he makes it ☹️

    Chick not growing?

    My clutch of 4 eggs hatched around 5 days ago, and I have to say it wasn't the best of batches the chicks came out with a lot of difficulty especially one little one, which my mom INSISTED on helping, basically she helped him hatch 100%.

    Chick with obstructed crop!!

    Ah, I don’t really own any heating pads at the moment and I’m not sure where they sell them,, the only heating method I’ve ever used is a heat lamp, can I use a hot water bottle? Also should I feed the chick the water or should I let it drink on it’s own? It doesn’t seem to be eating or drinking...

    Chick with obstructed crop!!

    I’m not sure if they sell NutriDrench here but I’ll check in the morning, um how do you keep it from the flock exactly? (Please bare with me I’m not so experienced with this;; ) do you keep it in a separate box with its own heat supply and water? I feel like it’ll get cold very fast without the...

    Chick with obstructed crop!!

    All the other chicks are twice it’s size, and it’s pooping just very little. it does feel like a tiny bean bag but it’s been there for a while I remember reading somewhere where it said the crop should empty and refill every 24 hours, but it looks like it was never empty? I’ll try giving it some...
