She died. At least she got to have a good day.

She just crashed. I don't know if she is going to make it.

It worked! She is still a bit wobbly and I will be making sure she is getting enough water and food but she is walking around. When she runs she puts her little wings out for stabilization. It is so cute! I am going to continue with the vitamin cocktail for a couple more days to see if she will...

I got my chicks in the mail yesterday and they all were eating and drinking fine but one was wobbly. She is much worse today. She can't stand without falling. She tries to push up with her legs but she can't get them underneath her without falling over. She was hatched on Monday. They were all...
