Hi everyone ! I have been researching all I can before I brought home any chicks. But I work at Tractor Supply, and a chick stole my heart. She is newly hatched, 3 days old. Asian Black supposedly. She is TINY. Like smallest Bantam tiny. She stayed away from all the other chicks and chirped incessantly all day. Didnt eat or drink because when she tries she falls down. She does not open her eyes. She can, she just chooses not too. Shes very sleepy, but does perk up a bit after food. I could see she wasnt going to survive with the other 100 chicks knocking her down so I brought her home. I have been feeding her warm mash out of chick starter with a tiny syringe as often as she will eat. She tilts her head way back to get it down. She does not have pasty butt. I am concerned she hatched premature and possibly blind ?! I was up all hours of the night trying to help her. I'm honestly shocked she hasn't passed yet. What can I do to help her more ?
