    HELP! How can I get my Silkie chick to eat?

    She is two days old and drinks from the waterer but shows no interest in the chick starter. She is in with 2 other chicks that are a day older than her that eat like hogs. She watches them eat but doesn't even peck at the food if I offer it in my hand. What can I do to get some food in her?
