Weak Chick

I will try putting her with the others. However, I am worried that the other chicks might run over her or injure her since she is so much smaller.

I will try putting back with the rest. I am slightly worried, though, that they might hurt her since she is so much smaller.

I wouldn't put her back and leave her. I'd sit closely and watch.
I'm just wondering if they can help her in a way that you can't.


I'd remove her if they are picking on her.

Stay close and watch and remove if it happens.

If she gets run over I would suggest putting in a wire divider, my chicks are always encouraged to eat and be active when there are other chicks around.

Ok, never mind they don’t really seem to be paying any mind to her so I think it’s fine.

Watch closely. See if you can tap your finger on the feed or waterer to encourage her to eat and drink.

Nutri-Drench is great to have on hand for silly chicks like this one.

Nutri-Drench is fantastic because it doesn't have to be digested for it to start working.

I give it to all freshly hatched chicks.
