    She didn't look "that" bad to me. Hopefully with some tlc she'll make it. And, she is moving around a bit.

    I dunno. I guess just keep trying to feed her and see what happens. Have you seen her try to eat on her own? or drink? She looked a little sluggish maybe, but that could be from not getting enough to eat.

    I don't really know what to tell you about how much at each feeding. You may just have to experiment a little because you don't want to feed too much but she needs to gain strength.......Good luck though!

    Maybe every hour or so for the first little bit. You may be able to get her to eat on her own by offering her her very own bowl of food. In the past I have had to "teach" chicks to eat by holding them in my hand and very gently pushing their beak into the food/water with a finger. I would...

    It's bad but this happens sometimes. The other chicks may not have been letting her eat. At least that's what it sounds like to me.

    Unfortunately if she is so weak you may have to open her beak and force it the first few times - just go slow - a drop or two at a time

    Try to get some of that in her - then maybe try to make some mush out of chick feed in a little bit. Be sure she doesn't get too cold

    You could also mix starter/grower with water until it is thin enough to use in the dropper. But I would try to get some sugar water in her first so she will have energy to digest

    The formula would be a good idea if you have it on hand. If not maybe 1 tsp. of sugar to 1/2 to 2/3 cup of water - enough sugar that it tastes sweet - then feed it to the bird with a dropper. This should help if she hasn't been eating. You may have to seperate her from the others until you can...
