    Lethargic Chick-Should I worry?

    Hi everyone, I just received a bantam mix from Meyer Hatchery on Tuesday 11/2 and this little cutie (I’m pretty sure she’s a mottled Cochin) was doing great the first day but yesterday she was barely walking around and never ate on her own. In the afternoon I got her to drink some...
