Forst timers questions about what is normal

Sprinkle some starter crumbles on it. They have to learn what is food. I have never seen a chick suddenly take to something new being offered. Teach them what to eat.

Well my sick chick just stands under the lamp all day, doesn't seem to bed down like the rest, and sort of wobbles as she stands. Her wings are a little droopy. This morning I found her on her back. I don't know if the other chicks knock her over as they run around, or she falls over because she is tired. We made her a seperate compartment in the chick pen. She will eat and drink a little, but continues to stay very weak and chirps all the time. The really loud volume is what told me she may have fallen over this morning. She did the same thing yesterday. All the other chicks are growing and she doesn't seem much bigger than she was a week ago.
