5 days old? Make her some chick feed wet mash. Maybe the crumbles are too big for her, and she's been picking but not really eating. She really should have something in her crop

was she from ideal or did you hatch her? sometimes they just get rattled in shipping especially the banties I lost a few after getting them shipped.

Try a drop of poly-vi-sol (without iron) it is an baby vitamin in liquid form and can be found at any grocery or drug store.

does she eat at all or walk around? if not try to encorage her to eat.

does she have poop stuck to her bum? check if so wash off gently with warm water takes a few minutes if it is caked on, do not pull off.

hope this helps some

Shes from Ideal, but shes been here since Friday. I got her to eat a little tiny bit of the mash, by pushing it in her mouth when she chirped.

What should I do now?
