Hey friends! Posting from Turkey, I have no idea how I found this forum.
My little sister bought a purple-colored chick yesterday. I don't know how the chick is purple. I suspect that they injected the coloring matter into the egg.
We live in an apartment, so we don't have any equipment related to chickens. The only thing I could find was a big box. I've put A4 papers to bottom of the box, and cut a plastic bottle where I put some water.
I also, seperate from the drinking water, boil water and put it on a plastic bag, and cover it with cloth. The chick sleeps leaning on it.
I feel very sad for it. It is alone and unnaturally colored. Is there anything else I can do? Should I try to remove the paint on its feathers?
Thank you so much.

Keep it warm, provide a mirror for company, get it some chick feed - the 'purple' will leave as feathers come in.
