Hanging in there, I have been trying to get food and water into it but I am not sure it is taking much, but it is getting stronger and can be fairly bright. I have yet to see it eat or drink then so either it is feeding and I am not seeing it or I am getting more into it than I thought!
So I posted earlier about my special needs chick that was struggling to stand, the advice was great and chick doing well improving, now able to stand and although wobbly it's balance is improving. However it doesn't move about much with any purpose and one eye is always closed, with the other...
It isn't splayed legs, more balance and one side being a bit weak. Definitely improved today for a day and night in a cup. Stronger now needs to work on balance and feeding.
Thanks it has taken some honey water and the tiniest speck of yoghurt. It is standing a bit now ( albeit very dopey and wobbly. I will leave it with food and water tonight and see if it manages and force feed tomorrow if I need. Thanks.
My last chick to hatch (was a late hatch day 25) needed help out of the egg and now struggles to stand, it falls to the left and ends up on it back. It is about 20 hours out of the egg and still struggling. What can I do to help it?
I have it in a coffee cup which is helping it remain upright and I have been trying to give it some honey water which it takes a little of. When not in the cup it sort of hutches forwards, falling onto its side and ending up on its back. I am hoping being in the cup will help it get stronger...
