Do not let her slowly starve to death. That's not a good choice.
You could try this method.

Put her out of her misery. It's not o.k. to let her die of hunger.
If you cannot do it, then find a friend, neighbor or family member that can.
This article below shows you how to put a chick out of it's misery. It's quick and efficient.

How old is this chick? If it's just hatched, they can live for days on the yolk they absorbed just before hatching. If you think about it, if it's not well, then we have 2 options. The first is to take action and treat but sometimes there's nothing that can be done. The other option is the kindest at that is to quickly end it for them. Do you feel like it's more kind to waste away crying in hunger and misery or to be out of pain and misery quickly if there are no treatment options? I can assure you that I am also very soft hearted but sometimes loving them means taking that misery away from them. Sometimes it hurts us a lot to give them the most love by ending their suffering or finding someone who is able to do that for us. I wish you the best and I'm sending you virtual hugs. I'm so sorry

You want to put a chick out of it's misery but want to blow warm air on it while you try to starve it to death????? You do know that might take well over a week and is nowhere close to being humane.

If you can't do it yourself just carry it to a vet. Do not let the animal suffer because you think it will make you suffer to put it down quickly.

Well if you can't deal with every part of husbandry maybe you don't need to own animals. It's not easy the first time but doing the right thing in life is often not the easy thing.

what?

If you can not properly care for animals then you don't need to own animals.

What @neo71665 is saying is that when someone (you) decides to keep chickens you need to be prepared what to do when one is injured or ill beyond repair. Death is part of life and there's no getting around it.

Veterinarians offer euthanasia (put to sleep) for a reason, because it is inhumane to let the animal suffer to death.

If you can't find someone to put the poor chick out of it's misery, schedule an appointment with a veterinarian who will euthanize it. You can probably just drop the chick off there, pay your bill, and leave.
