We have 16 chicks that arrived yesterday. One of the chicks is smaller than the rest and closes his eyes most of the time. I wonder if he is sick, blind, or what? Any ideas?
he is tiny and doesn't move around much.
 
Sadly it will most likely die. If you cannot get it eating within 3 day he will surely perish. Try some sugar/honey water to give him a quick boost, might just wake him up (Put drops of it on his mouth, he will suck it up {Not to much you can drown a baby chicken, they won't stop drinking if sick}). You may have to forcefeed him, that comes with its own risks thou. Good luck with your baby.
