She didn't make it. I am so disappointed because I tried so hard, but the last few days I just felt like all I was doing was delaying the inevitable. She was getting weaker and weaker despite the had feedings and making sure she was drinking. I know these things happen, but this was my first...

Quote: Thank you. Well the chick is still alive ! She is eating and drinking, and pooping, but she still is not walking. She just lays there, and if she wants to get over to the food or water, she kinda hops and wiggles, but will not stand up. *sigh* She moves her legs fine when I pick...
