We got our chicks almost three weeks ago, and there was something wrong with one of them almost immediately. She was just droopy and had no appetite. I fed her some scrambled egg and got her to eat a little bit of chick starter when I mixed the two together, but then after a while she wouldn't eat that either. When she was about four days old she died during the night. I had tried to isolate her, but when I did she peeped so loudly and pitifully I couldn't stand it. She wanted to be with her buddies I guess. I was really afraid that what she had was contagious, but all the other chicks continue to be healthy and happy. Perhaps some are just born with something not quite right....
