Hi!
I got some chicks from the breeder yesterday - they all seem just fine. But one particular orpington chick seems to never drink. He eats and look great, but I NEVER see him drinking. do I miss it - may be he does it when I do not see. but I see all the others do it often and he is bit on the slower side of moving, likes to nap. I put his head couple times but he does not seem interested. Any advice?
Thanks!

Just saw him drinking)) It probably took some time for her ro figure this out - or I just was not "there" when he drank. In Storey's book I read some chicks can not find the water and will eventually die, so the book reccomended to put it closer and may be first day put it on the lavel, so it would not to be hard for chicks to find it.
