I rescued a neighborhood chick that mama rejected or thought was dead (so did we). I realized it was still breathing so brought it in to get it warmed up. It was quite weak and slept most of the day. It was born sometime Saturday, not sure how long it was not under mom, we found it Sunday afternoon. It has been drinking some but seems to have trouble unless it's little drops at a time. I can't leave water in its box because it easily falls asleep and I don't want it to drown or get wet. I took it to work with me Monday so I could give it water. It's box temp is usually at 95 but then it seems to just sleep. When it's cooler baby is more active. I also noticed that it tends to shiver once in awhile. I gave it sugar water for a day and will go to the feed store to get some quick chick. Does anyone have any input on
What else I can do for baby? I'm kind of starting to worry it won't make it.
