My 1 day old chick is eating a lot and seems to sleep more than the others. It was drinking fine the first night, but today i've yet to catch it drinking and when I put its beak in the water it just peeps and wiggles away.
I've already lost a chick due to not drinking and I don't want to go through this again, but that chick wasn't even eating. Will he drink on his own time? Or is there something I should do? (The other chicks find the water just fine and it has Life-Lytes in it)
Edit; Moved it in with the other chicks and hopefully 4 other chicks drinking will influence him. This water is bigger but no Life-Lytes in it. He'd hop next to the water, but will only look. This wouldn't be a problem if again he hasn't been spotted drinking all day.
