i have a very small chick that came in a mystery box along with my order. she had terrible poopy butt that i cleaned. she was quite wet. i dried her off and wrapped her in a warm piece of flannel. when i checked her a few minutes later she could not stand well and kept her wings away from her body.
 
Well she seems maybe better? I warmed her up, got a little water down her and she ate a bit of watermelon in little tiny pieces. Then I mixed some chick food with a bit of water and she enjoyed that. She also had two fairly large poops.

She is still wobbly but she is back with some of the other chicks that are also small, but not as small as she is. One of the other chicks I think is the same breed and is now at least a thrid larger that her sister.

I hope she makes it!
