Not really enough information given yet.


Chicks need warmth, food, and water to begin.

You ...bought? this one chick? Go back to store, they
should have chick food. Not CHICKEN food, but chick
starter of some nature.

You can put a lot of money into raising just one chick...

Greetings from Kansas and

! Pleased you joined our flock! Agree with Spookwriter - and let it have unlimited free choice chick food - it won't overeat. Also, you can chat with fellow PA poultry folks in your state thread in this link: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/270925/find-your-states-thread
Good luck and thanks for joining BYC!

Please forgive me if I sound blunt but who gave you the chick and why? Were you prepared for it’s arrival? As Spook has mentioned, chicks need warmth as well as food and water. Do you have a brooder with a heat lamp set up for it? Also, a single chick will be very lonely.

It's ok I got her off a friend not knowing what she meant by chicken and I don't have brooder ready or anything right now she in the box she came in

Sounds like an Easter chick. Could you give it back to your friend and say you have no way to provide what a baby chick needs. Its never good to surprise people with live animals when they have no idea what to do with them.
