Hi, so about a week ago I hatched 10 chicks, and up until earlier today, they were all fine. Then earlier this afternoon, one of my chicks has become very lethargic. She will just stand there and sleep, she won't even lay down. She won't eat or drink, although I have fed her a few drops of water off the end of my finger and she appears to drink it. I have tried dipping her beak in the food and water but she won't even try to eat or drink. I did notice that her butt was a little pasty, so I did wipe it clean, and her vent is not blocked. (Not sure if it was before I cleaned it, and if it was, I'm not sure for how long.) I do keep checking to make sure her vent is not getting blocked anymore, but I don't know what to do from here. HELP PLEASE!
