Thank you I'm a total worry wart. I dont have kids I have chickens so......

Chicks don't perk up right out of the egg, they need to learn to walk on those legs, dry out their feathers to a fluff since they are still wet and they don't need to eat really for 48 hours or so. Plus they sleep alot just like any newborn animal. They are still living off the yolk sac. That is why a hatchery is able to ship off day olds they don't need feed and water right off the bat.

You know, I know all this but it's like it completly left my head or something. Like I forgot how to think.....
