I'm very sorry that your chicken "Tink" passed away! My baby chick that I had to help hatch was only 2 days old and it passed away this morning. I'm still very sad! ~Julie ( ')>

~HOW DEVASTATING TO WAKE UP AND FIND A DEAD CHICK!! I GUESS IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE? ~ I'm Not drama, but this really sucks!!! I found the chick in the EXACT same spot and same exact way I seen it last before I went to bed, who would have thought that it was already dead when I checked before I...

RIP.... I WOKE UP AND THE BABY CHICK HAD DIED!!

Thank you for your feedback it helped to know this info. ~Julie

I didn't try putting the chick in a coffee mug.. maybe I should have? Don't know? I thought it just needed another day or two to get its strength since it had a little more of a stressful hatch? ` Over all i felt things were gonna go as normal for the chick. Thanks for your support, it help me a...

I have gotten the chick to drink a little water but hasn't ate any food yet. I almost thought it was getting too weak from not eating and drinking. When should the chick be eating and drinking?

These pictures are chick at day 2.. It can stand and walk but wobbly.

No... its way too wobbly! it would get trampled on for sure. if it was walking normal like the other 5 out there, I would. Theres no way it would make it right now. Sometimes the hens start bickering with each other and their babies get caught in the middle but at lease they can move.

Do you think if I put a wash cloth in a coffee cup then sat the chick inside on top of the wash cloth it would help make the chick more stronger?.. not so wobbly? it seems like if it was confined to a Slightly snug area that it would get use to standing on its feet easier and it would have more...

Between 2 of the hens they have 5 new chicks right now and the other hens are still sitting. I will go take some pictures.

When do I need to put food and water out for this new chick? its still not very stable. I dont think it would be able to eat and drink without falling in side the containers of food and water.
