Hi there,
My baby chick is 4 weeks old and she started yesterday to sit down all the time and sleep. Does anyone know what might cause this? I'm afraid that she is really sick but as it's Easter there's no vets open for a few days now!! Eep! She has no balance and just sits to the side all the time. I've been looking for her poo but haven't been able to find any yet :/ My partner said he saw her poo but I haven't yet. Any advice of what I could do in the meantime until I can give you updates on her stool would be really appreciative!!! I'm soooo worried! I just have her on the chick feed. She is eating and drinking a bit but not as much as usual. They love eating out of my hand and when I put my hand in she just pecks it a bit and then sits down on it (usually she would eat and then run away for a bit) I'm going to go get a box now so I can separate her from the rest but I'm worried that if she has something, the others will already have it.
Please, any advice would be very reassuring! I just lost a chick the other day and I don't think I could cope losing another one! I love them so much.
Thank you in advance.
