Hi everyone, I have a chick who is 10 days old and not eating. I have been giving her Nex Tex Poultry Nutri Drops (my Nutri Drench has not arrived yet) but she has not wanted to eat anything today. She does not open her beak to eat or peck, so we have been spoon feeding her her seed mix with water, but has not wanted it today. Hopefully, when she has more energy she will be more willing to eat, so we will keep trying; but I was wondering if she will be alright with just the Nutri drops and water- I know that she does need to eat, but can she get by the next couple of days with just this and water?
Also, after having the drops she has been shaking whilst relieving herself, but doesnt seem to be in pain-does this likely mean that they are too hard on her stomach? Or is this just because she is very small and it takes a lot of energy?
