Do you think I should give her some raw egg yolk through a syringe?No. Don't force feed yet. If she is not eating by tomorrow, then try. Be careful-it would be very easy to have food choke her and cut off her breathing. She fights me like a chicks when I dip her beak in water and goes back under heater. She doesn't Peck or want food. I put some wet starter in her mouth at 1 am when she woke me crying. She fought but swallowed when I got it in. It was only 2-3 crumbles and I put her back under heater where I found her. She started crying again and I moved the heater so she was at lower end, with more heat. She was quiet the rest of the night.
When you see her taking an interest in her surroundings, set some food (hard boiled egg minced) in front of her. Get her attention to it by tapping the food/dish and make a "buk-buk-buk" sound in the same way a broody hen does when showing chicks what to eat. You might find that she will try to eat or at least peck at the food. Extra hard boiled egg can be stored in the fridge.

What do you think @nchls school ?

Her beak will allow her to eat. I've seen worse and those chicks could eat.

Is 4H fun? Can you sell chickens, I want to do it next year as well.

I've actually never done the fair yet. I just got into it in December last year, and then Covid happened. Everything's cancelled. Maybe next year. I'm pretty sure they do a poultry auction, but not 100% sure. It sounded really fun, I wish it would have worked out. My hen I was planning on showing decided to go broody though, so I couldn't have showed her anyway (lost a lot of weight, and her feathers got ragged).

Aww man, that stinks. The fairs up here went virtual, you had to take a video of your animal. I want to show my rooster but he isn't vaccinated so Probobly not.

Our birds don't have to be vaccinated, just Pollorum/Typhoid cleared. He's beautiful!

All for 4H. You should join. We sell the meat pens here in Texas. Most don't want to sale their show birds.

This little chick is definitely in the right hands! How lucky she is to have found you!
I hope she is able to overcome her conditions and live the very best chickie life she can!

ok great. I usually scramble eggs for the babies but hadn't thought of boiled. I tried to feed her again before reading you post and she is excellent at spitting it out. However; she held her mouth open like a bird for water. I thought I had drowned her at first but she just set there with her mouth open. I used a corner of a paper towel and when she had enough she wouldn't open her mouth any more.
I took the heater off her and set it beside, she walked kind of on her knees, elbows, hocks, sorry I don't know the term. She is awkwardly ambulatory.
Thank you so very much for the help.
