sick chick

[Ladybirds9]

I got my order of chicks in this morning and most of them are doing really great. But one is looking really bad - she's awfully small and she doesn't want to move. I've seen her drinking a couple of times but I can't get her to eat. What should I do?

Put some sugar in the water for a little energy boost. Try that first. You might try to tempt the chick with some tiny pieces of scrambled or hard boiled egg... I hope the little thing makes it...

Thanks for the help but she wouldn't eat anything. I got up this morning and she was gone.

Her sisters sure enjoyed the leftover egg though!

Sorry, I also lost one this morning.
