Help 3 days old chick is not eating or drinking.

[khoros]

I am feeding her by hand otherwise she won't eat or drink. her bedding was pine shaving,I replaced it with newspaper. when i felt around her neck, it looks like is swollen little bit and is watery not hard.should i stop feeding her ?

anyone????

Any other symptoms? Is there blood in the poop? Is she puffed up at all? Does she still walk around normally?

Unless she hasn't eaten for a long time, don't force her to eat. If she's just been refusing feed for a few hours and the crop is swollen, it could be that she ate or drank too much and it is full enough that she doesn't want to eat any more.

no blood in stool and she is not puffed up .the crop was better today .she is reluctant to walk or lay down.she is just standing all the time.i have been mixing egg yolk and crumble and feeding her.overall she is very weak and has hard time walking.
