How are the chicks legs? I noticed my chicks open their mouth a lot, but to play it safe can you see if any food or bedding is stuck? How old is the chick?

Have you tried a tiny bit of feed maybe mix a little water in it? It may not be hungry yet, but maybe it just needs a little time to gain some strength. Hopefully more people will chime in here.
