I have a baby chick about a mth and a half that won't stop chirping it's been 3 days now, her poops are like a yellowy water. She's still eating and drinking but just sits there and chirps when she's not eating or drinking. Even when mom brings her under her wing she still continues to chirp...

It sucks cause I'm thinking the same thing and so many people have said that sadly :( My question is how long should I wait to see if she gets better? It's sad seeing her like this and I don't know of she' suffering. I don't want to keep her around like this out of selfishness, but at the same...
