I have a chick that I hatched Thursday, and it won't eat or drink. It was keeping its eyes closed, but I got it to open them. It stumbles around when it tries to walk. I've fed it some yolk with a dropper and some water with electrolytes in it. I don't know what else to do for it.
 
They won't eat or drink for the first couple of days after hatching, they absorb the yolk right before so they can go a few days without food while the rest in a clutch hatch, and unfortunately some have not developed correctly and will fail to get off to a good start, best to leave it alone, if it's meant to make it will.
