2 of my chicks are not opening their eyes, we need to force them to eat! What do we do?

 

[nuthatched]

Hi there, They don't need to be forced, they could choke like that. how old are they? any other symptoms? Limp?

 

[rosemarythyme]

How old? Sounds like they're newborns? Chicks don't need to eat the first 3 days or thereabouts.

What is the temperature in your brooder? Could they be too hot?

 

[JennyLeeF]

Whoa. Chill out. Don't force an animal to eat if you don't know what's wrong or what you are doing.

How old is the baby chick? An hour, a week, a month?
