Excited! Just ordered Chicks from Ideal.

I hope the rest of the chicks are ok!

1 chick is refusing to eat/drink.
I made egg yolks for them all (boiled) and only one isnt eating at all.

 

[DesertGrrl]

Do you have any supplements you can put in the water?

I added Durvet Vitamins and Electrolytes in the water and I gave them egg yolks (from boiled eggs).
One is not eating nor drinking on its own.

Raw scrambled eggs helps them, dribbling that on the sides of their beaks may be a more efficient way to get food in them.

8 are doing fine.
1 died.
1 is refusing food and drink.

Have you dipped its beak in the water?

 

[DesertGrrl]

Have you dipped its beak in the water?

Yes. I dipped all the chicks beaks in water.
That one I dipped its beak twice.

I'm not sure what else you could do. I'm afraid that one may pass.

Yeah, sometimes it's just a survival of the fittest.
