I got six of them..they are about a day or two old at max...
They seemed ' tired' when I first got them. 4 of them recovered fine from that. All dancing and prancing about even now. But 2 of them just stood still with their eyes closed...heads dropping slowly as if they are so sleepy that they can't keep their heads up. Last night I feed them and them covered the coop with a blanket to keep it warm since it can get a bit windy in here. I woke in the morning to find that one of the tired looking ones was sitting..its little wings all spread. I thought it was dead to be honest. Then i poked it and it stood up..took a few shaky steps and down it went again. I tried to feed it through a syringe but it didn't work well. It eventually died in the afternoon and the weird part was..it was twisting its head all around...it was horrible to watch
.
Now the other tired one is sitting quietly with its eyes closed and I don't know what I should do!! Suggestions??
