weak chick not eating

I recently discovered a single silkie bantam chick in my coop the other day. I brought her in and have had her under a heat lamp since. Day one she had the most energy I've seen since discovering her. She had been constantly chirping and wanted nothing but to be held by one of us. After the...

Hello dear friends, I went away for 4 days and asked my neighbours to come to the chicken coop, open the door each morning and close it in the evening, refill the water. I THINK that they forgot to refill it on the last day, and my chicken crew (16 in total) was very thirsty when I came back...
