Please help me with my month old chicks

I would get some chick starter asap and make a slurry of this with electrolytes and force feed this chick a small amount every couple hours and make sure its temp is at least 95

That chick is maybe a week or two old, not a month old.

Agreed that’s a very young chick in the picture. These are my two week old silkies. They are tiny but seem older. When was your birthday? Can you get a pic of it’s whole body? Any idea what breed?

Agreed, get chick starter ASAP, moisten with the electrolytes and make it feed. But if you’ve been feeding corn with no grit also get grit asap and force feed some. They don’t have teeth to grind the corn. They use their muscled gizzard with grit to grind their food.

When I first moved my first chickens out to their outdoor home I stopped offering grit since they were free ranging in my yard and had sand in for bedding, I figured they’d get grit on their own. But I lost my two favorites to crop issues. Hard way to learn.
