Not drinking

[Graciepechey]

My new silkie chick just won’t drink it’s been just over 24hrs since it hatched , I’ve put its beak in the water , it’s just not interested, what do I do

Leave it be. It can take 24-48 hours after hatch for them to finish absorbing the nutrients from their yolk sac. They will live off of that until the nutrients are gone then they start eating and drinking.
