I took home 4 babies yesterday. 3 are doing great but my silver laced wyandotte is not eating at all. I tried giving her food on a white paper plate or on a white paper towel - nothing. Last night I got her to eat softened up feed with some water off my fingers, but since then she hasn't eaten. Her poops are runny - her first one was green but now they're white and watery. I tip her beak into the waterer a couple of times every 2 hours or so.
Mostly she sits there w/ eyes closed. I am afraid she's not going to make it. Is there anything I should be doing? I can't believe I have screwed this up in less than 24 hours. Should worst come to worst, I worry that they won't sell me a replacement at the feedstore ... they don't want to sell individual chicks...
