Please make yourself at home and we are here to help. Good luck to you and your little chick! Make sure she is warm, has feed meant for baby chicks, has water (maybe with some apple cider vinegar in it.) and also make sure she is cuddled and loved especially if she is alone. You can also check out the links attached.

Inspection your troops .... all the chicks need to be inspected from
top to bottom eye's beak hawks toes vent wings for any deformity
or illness ...





Proper of adequate quarters must be provided ......





Heat ventilation water feed and play room .....





Cleaning of the area should be a daily event floor water and feed
receptacles






You need to find out what kinks of feed your feed stores sell ...

Hello :frow and Welcome To BYC! Good luck with your new chicks! Mountain Peeps gave you some great links to check out on caring for them!
 
Generally one chick alone is an unhappy chick as chickens are flock birds. 3 is always a good starting number - that way if something happens to one there are still two for company. If you indeed have a solo chick, give her a mirror so that her image will provide 'company'.
