Hi everyone! My friend is the proud new owner of 8 baby chicks. Unfortunately yesterday she noticed that the brown chick (all the rest are yellow) is segregated from the rest and laying on its side, but she is still drinking and eating. She is the smallest and doesn't seem to have any ailments...

Thanks for the advice, I will definitely put some fake eggs in there and see if that helps. I always add additional grit and oyster shells to their pellets (which I keep full and available to them at all times). In answer to your other question...she never eats her eggs, theres only a peck/nail...
