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
steve

Bad feed store if they didn't make sure you had what you needed for the new babies.
