Any idea how much water she should have by the end of the day?

I am going to guess about 30.
If you look at this book it shows how much a certain age and weight bird should consume in a day.

I calculate that she weighs close to 500 grams.
A 500 gram chick should eat about 350 grams of feed per week.
which equals 50 grams per day.
Right?

I am not sure.

She has had 10mL of fluids already. Should I stop for the day? That doesn't feel like enough.

Give her a little while.
See if she starts eating an drinking on her own over the next hour.
I do not think you should stop for the day but give her a little time.

Okay. So far she has been observed to have eaten 1/2 Tbsp of feed mash which is probably about 1/10 or less of what she should eat in a day.
