Thank You. I've been watching the water level because reading that online freaked me out, plus she just haven't drank in front of me yet! In my experience, chicks drink pretty much all of the time, so idk why she hasn't done it in front of me 😂 she seems healthy though. So should I just watch...

Yeah, I got some glass marbles for the water. I did end up adding honey to it for a bit. She's eating and pooping a lot, but she's still yet to drink from what I can tell bc the water doesn't seem to be getting any lower. She's also stopped accepting it from the syringe which she used to like...
