HELP! 3 day old chick listless not eating/drinking

[mrskenmore]

So a week later and it looks like "mush's" sisters all excepted her back into the brooder. She is eating, jumping, preening, eating and drinking like a champ! Thanks again to everyone here on the forum for channeling their positive thoughts for her to pull through. Here is a picture from yesterday of her perching like it is no big deal. She is a bit smaller than the others but that doesn't seem to bother her!!!

So glad to see this went so well. I had a similar fail to thrive chick in my last hatch. I had her doing pretty well and had to go to work for 10 hours. When I returned I found that she had passed away.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear of your little chick passing. My heart just breaks for those little ones.

Thankfully, this one is holding her own. She is slowly growing her feathers in and has no trouble keeping up with the others. I am still cautiously optimistic. She had a very rough week, but is now looking strong and capable. Here is a picture of her from this weekend.
