Thanks for all the help and support! My chick didn’t make it. She got really limp and laid down on her side so I picked her up and she kept putting her head on my hand backward. Then she finally kicked her legs out hard and went limp in my hand. When I saw her lay down on her side I had my husband go wake my daughter, so she got to be with her when her chick passed. It’s a hard fact if life, but if we are going to raid animals, it’s something they have to learn, so we rolled with it. She is planning a lovely funeral for her chick later this morning when we get up.
One final question. Should I be concerned why this chick died? Like are her symptoms indicative of anything contagious that I need to be worried that more chicks are going to get sick and die? Thanks for all your support!

So sorry you lost the chick Get them on a good chick starter as quickly as you can. Starter will be around 20% protein and crumbles.

Welcome to BYC, sorry for the loss. That chick was evidently not thrifty when sold to you - nothing that you did wrong. Chick should not have been sold.
