Please can anyone help!!
I have just hatched 1 Serama Chick out of a batch of 12. The little fella (or lady) is 3 days old but isn't eatting or drinking on it's own.
Is this normal? I am managing to get some food and water into it's little mouth but im not sure how effective this is.
Will the little chap suffer for not having any siblings/

Not sure, how did it hatch, did you have to give it a hand or was it from a broody hen? Try getting some vitamins in its' water, maybe. 3 days odl should be drinking and eating on its' own. Is it acting alright, does it chirp all the time or is it quiet?

I hatched it in the incubator. I helped it out as it had shell stuck all over it.
Its very noisy and seems quite strong but looks very scraggy!!!

I've done that, is it warm enough? Sometimes you can put in a mirror or a stuffed animal maybe to keep it company? Scramble some eggs for protein.
