Won't eat

[gander007]

For one thing baby chicks have 3 days of food in their bellies form the egg
they were hatched from so really you haven't any worries but if it really
bothers you here is an idea to try boil up an egg 1 egg per 10 chicks peal
and mash with a fork real good and serve ......... These little buggers will
gobble it right up ,,,,,,,,,, Now if you have chicks who are not eating by day
5 then you have a problem

Some of my flock and 90% of them I hatched

Well he has his eyes closed he doesn't chirp and he doesn't stand up

Sounds like you need to get your chick wormed up as they tend to
cool of when they are in the state you are describing

He is under the lamp it's 95 so I hope it works

He might be okay guys! He has opened his eyes he is chirping a bit he is standing up and moving although he is a bit wobbly, but I will keep a very close eye on him

Glad to hear!

As long as he is drinking that to me is a good sign. In addition to making a mash you can try just a little bit of boiled egg yolks.

He doesn't drink by himself I dip his beak in but now I'm concerned I know chicks tend to doze off and look like they are dead, mines is on his belly with his eyes closed should I worry?

 

[gander007]

Sounds like he is tuckered out ,,,,,,, now let him rest but every couple
of hours just dip the beak and let your chick go rest or play around as
there is a large recovery for some chicks after the hatch and some
just take longer then other's up to 5 days in some cases I have seen ....

Let him rest take medicated chick starter with vitamin water mix up a soup in hour or so dip beak keep repeating rest and repeat has work for us

 

[rubenmarquez23]

Okay I have been giving him vitamin water every hour or so he won't eat, right now he is resting
