Questions- New baby chick

[cforrester]

I am new to all this and have a freshly new baby chick (2.5 hours old)! Is there an info article or something on here about newly hatched baby chicks? Like mine is sleeping a lot (which I assume to be normal) and still wet looking but partly fluffed on bottom. It's not walking around a whole lot yet and still stumbles a lot when it does get up. Am I just worrying foe nothing?

It's normal for newly hatched chicks not to be very active on their first day. In a natural hen hatch they'd have nothing to do for the first day, but sit cozy under mom's feathers There are some articles on chicks and chick raising in the Learning Center that you can read to give you an idea of what to expect from your little one.
