I have a chick that just hatched about 16 hours ago, she was stuck in her shell, I had to help her out, I should have got to her sooner as she is completely coated in sticky hard yuck. I used a warm wet cloth to loosen her wings, as they were completely stuck to her body. But all her feathers are slicked down and no cloth will soften them. Should I bathe her, or just leave her alone. She's having trouble walking and I'm worried it's because she needs to be washed off. What should I do?? Help!
