Chicks dont need to eat for 48 hours after they hatch. Just keep it warm and leave it alone and hopefully it will come around. Make sure the other chicks dont peck it/pick on it. If it doesn't come around I suggest starting a new thread in the help/emergencies category. This thread is 4 years old, Best of luck.Hi there, My daughter and me are new to this group and hatching eggs in a incubator, usually we have mama hens,
So yesterday we had some chicks hatch and one of eggs were taking to long to unzip and we didn't know how long to wait, we helped it out and after it dried up its neck seems to be down to much and it peeps alot more then usual and doesn't want to eat, we gave it water by a spoon, anyone have ideas? Thanks so much ☺
