Small chick

[Shaleen Ann Brown]

One of my baby chicks 2 days old was a little smaller that the others and looked weaker. He was eating and drinking properly but i decided to separate him as his siblings were much bigger..... It has been 2 days but I have never seen him eat..i give him sugar water a few times a day but he doesn't seem happy and I am afraid he is not eating. He is healthy and doesn't appear weak.... I am afraid he is not eating. What should i do?

Put him back with his siblings, they will show him how to eat and drink.
They are social creatures and your chick might just give up on life without his siblings for company.
