Welcome to Backyard Chickens! We are glad you joined the flock! BYC is a helpful site providing all the information you need to know about chickens! How old is your chick? My chicks will usually crawl until they are 5 days old. Hope you enjoy it here as much as we all do!

I don’t know much but that’s a chicken look at the feet ....

It is a chicken.

Do you have vitamins in the water? Medicated chick starter?

I’d feed him with an eye dropper , just drip the vitamin water on the side of his beak , he will swallow ... hold him in a little cloth .

Scramble some eggs and see if he will eat that ... so sad he’s so cute

Just wanted to say my little guy is doing much better. He’s been eating and drinking more. Still is little unsteady but better than he was

Being a chick is hard work ,

The treatment is the same for both chicks and ducklings

Hatching is exhausting work, and some chicks take longer than others to recover. Sounds like you are getting good advice, so I will just say Welcome to Backyard Chickens

Sorry, got confused by the heading of the post.

Hope he's better!

He or she is doing so much better. It’s running with the rest now. Eating and drinking like nothing was wrong
