    Cross beak chick Beep

    I have an 8 week old chick with a cross beak. She is unable to eat regular chick crumble so we have been feeding her a special mixture of foods that are soft/liquiy.

    is my chick sick?

    I just bought a tiny little Plymouth Rock today, brought her home and put her in an aquarium with her lamp, food, and water. All she has done since I brought her home is sleep. Is this normal? How much do tiny babies sleep? I showed her the water and food and she took a sip, but hasn't...
