Hello, I'm new again to raising chicks, right to the point, I have a baby blue cochin that is probably malnuished for the bast 4 days. They were shipped in on friday, very lathargic and not eating/drinking, just lays there. I want to save her and am willing to stay up all night to do so. Do i force feed her and if so what should i make?
Thanks and i'll tell the whole story later.

I was to late, she died in my hands...

the story is that i bought 5 chicks from a feed store on friday, i asked for some chick food and came home. 4 of the 5 died the first two days and now the 5th is dead. yesterday i went back in and talked with the people at the feed store and they gave me 3 more chicks and a thermometer thinking i had them to cold or hot. i got home and realized how much bigger the new ones were, didn't think much of it till today when i read the bag of the chick food i got. it's chick grit, you're supposed to mix it with they're food, not use it as food. so today i got them food and thought i was all good untill i got home from dinner, my cochin was just laying there. now i know the hard way.
thanks

The people at the feed store must pay attention when they sell customers things! Now they've killed your poor chicks

So sorry to hear that. You should insist they replace every chick you've lost.
