Morning all.
We got 6 2 day old Pekin chicks as our poor hen had been sat on 6 eggs for 23 days with no hatching. One looked smaller and not as active. We put them under our hen and all went well. Sadly this morning the runty one was laying on its back, cold, eyes open. Basically dead. I held it in my hand to go and bury it and it moved. I quickly cuddled it and wrapped it in a warm wheat germ bag. To my surprise it is now cheeping and cuddled up in my hand. I have wet some chick crumbs and mashed up shambled egg. How often do I need to feed Button.
