Well, the little Serama chick wouldn't eat, so he/she didn't make it. He was doing great at day 3, then when I went to get him on the morning of day 4 he was kinda weak. I hadn't seen him eat anything, and I couldn't get him to peck at anything, so I figured he was needing nourishment. I tried everything I could, but he just wouldn't eat, so he died the next day. Darn It!!!!!

I'm sorry, Lori! Sometimes they just dont thrive and we never know why exactly. Bummer.

skeeter...........sorry about the little guy/gal. Even human children are sometimes diaginosed with "failure to thrive"....it's a combination of not eatting and when they do eat, for some unknown reason, their bodies do not digest/process food as it should.
It's stiil upsetting to lose a chick and i'm sorry for the loss.

Sorry for the loss! It's always sad to lose an animal much less a baby.

AWWWW!!! The best we can do is try.. we know you gave it your all.. some things are not meant to be.. I am positive your next hatch will be amazing

think of all you have learned.

Thanks for the kind words, guys!!! It sure makes you feel awful to have a life in your hands, then have it fade away. You're right, Denna, I think I'm due for a super hatch!!! I'll probably try again toward the end of Feb or early March, so look out!!!!
