I have a very small banty 5 day old chick. The only one that made it in a bad hatch.
I have chick start and water in there, but noticed that she was to small to really be able to eat it. So I also added some mixed with a bit of water. I know she knows how to eat and drink. The last day and a half I haven't seen her eat, I saw her drink last night. My problem is that it is only one chick and I really can't tell this last day and a half if she is eating. Doesn't seem real interested in food, but will pick the ground at stuff just not sure if she is getting anything it doesn't really look like it.
There is not really much poop either. She looks like she is trying to go and not much comes. I have used a warm wet rag on her butt and a little came each time. Most every time I look at her she is sleeping, but I do see her moving around and alert some. I tried giving a little suger water and couldn't get her to drink any of it. I did see her drink regular water last night, so I know she knows where and how. any advise?
