Are there any other symptoms?
Is it possible that this is a newly hatched chick and they are just not hungry due to the last of the yolk absorpsion?

Don't feed peanut butter. 95 is too hot. Do you have any gatorade? Give it to the little chick with a dropper. Very slowly. Drop the liquid on the side/top of it's beak and let it slowly go into its mouth so it can swallow and not drown. Make it a scrambled egg. Cool it and smush it and try to feed the little guy.

If no gatorade try a little sugar in some water. A 1/2 teaspoon to a glass of water. Mix really well.

If it is still alive after trying the water and egg let us know so we can help more. Do any of your neighbors have chick starter crumbles??? Maybe you can borrow a little bit.

Why do you say it's not acting like a chick?

Does it LOOK like a chick but act like a baby sparrow?

 

[jcool73]

well it is colored a dull brown with some darker brown portions almost a mottled look with whitish down undercoat... its beak is mostly like a chickn but the top part of the beak "dips" to a point i am trying to figger a way to get yall a pic

Mix the starter crumbles with a little applesauce or babyfood or maybe a piece of canned fruit like pear. Mash everything up and add a little of the syrup from the can. Anything to wet the crumbles and make it taste good. Water is most important though.

I'm sending good thoughts and prayers your way!!!! Come on chickie.

get a photo with a digital camera, put the photo on your pc using the usb cord that comes with the camera. Web cams also work.

Then go to imageshack.com and upload the photo from your computer to image shack. After you have done that, copy and paste the link they give you to the photo here in the thread.

edit: nvm you figured it out lol
