Chick won’t eat

[Melieke1985]

I have a 4day old chick that doesn’t eat. It drink if I put the water on my finger but when it drink it’s like it knows it’s there but his heads wobbles to find it and drink. It is not lethargic but it walks up super straight and I never see it bend over to pick at food it’s like it only wants to be up straight. It the starts to chirp very loud and it only stops if I put it under the heatplate myself. Could it be visually impaired? When I tap the food tray it does come over but it just doesn’t peck at the food at all.

Taking a stab in the dark on this one. Could it be a very slight wry neck? Vit. E and Selenium can treat wry neck.

Try getting a small dish (we use plastic peanut butter jar lids) and put some crumbles in it then soak them with water. Chicks and adults love that. See if that'll entice him to eat.
