Hiya i got some silkie chicks about 2 weeks ago aged 1-4 weeks. I had been turning the light off at night in the last few days and they had been ok, but ive noticed today one of the younger ones (now would be about 3 weeks old) has been quite sluggish. The other of the same age has been ok zipping around the box with the other, but one is sleeping quite alot. Also not over interested in food or water, But eatin and drink as needed, but not rushing off like the others. Its chirping. and Is stood up, but just appears very sleepy.
Ive put the light back on, and im going to leave it on for the next few nights. Also i cooked up some egg to give them just to see if that helps and the little one did have a bit of a feed on that.
Do some chicks have sleepy days? Or should I be worried about it?
