I was hoping someone could give me a little guidance. My silkie is setting on a clutch of eggs I ordered for her. this is only week two but one of them hatched this morning. Since she is still setting I brought it inside. It's been a while since i had day old chicks. It isn't standing yet and isn't strong enough to hold it's head up long. Is that normal. Should I dip it's beak in water yet? Will it be a couple days before it needs starter feed?
It has a little membrane dried on it's head should I try to soak if off with a damp cotton ball?
Thanks for help. TJ
