I need your help

You have to be very careful when giving food or water to a chick through a dropper. It is very easy to get it down the wrong tube and aspirate them.

Yes, I recommend using a q tip and dabbing the chicks beak against it, letting the bird do the swallowing if possible.

It may not. It hasn't really had that great of a start. Chicks are fragile. They need the correct temperature of heat, feed and water always available, and to not be chilled. They also dont do well alone.

We ordered a heat lamp it should be coming soon

try heating up some socks filled with rice like i said, 30 seconds
, cover the socks with other socks to avoid them being too hot for your chick and plop ur chick in the middle of two socks and cover him with a thin shirt maybe with his beak & nostrils popping out so he can breathe, when giving him water make sure you have ur chick standing up

I’ve tried the sock thing but it smells horrible like I use clean socks and rice and when I take it out of the microwave it has a toxic smell

hmph i forgot to mention not to use any socks with any plastic like things, any rubber on it? sorry that didn’t work for you, i use cotton socks, what you could also do is heat up the rice separately, then pour it into the sock.

I promise that I don’t mean this in a harsh way, but in the future, it’s probably best to do your research and assemble all your needed materials before bringing a living thing into your care. I’m not sure the circumstances of your acquiring this chick—maybe it was an Easter present, maybe it was out of your control? But I promise that raising chicks is a more pleasant and rewarding experience when you’re prepared for it (and, I would argue, is an ethical responsibility as well).

Keep it in front of the heater. Make sure it is getting the heat.
