It does like the mirror, but still cries constantly. I’m hoping we can get a few chicks to keep it company 🙁 Again, I can’t express how much I’ve appreciated the advice.

Thank you. I’m hesitant to get more chicks from them. Unfortunately it’s the only store in our area that has poultry. We’ve had no issues with the 4 ducklings we purchased there ( other than being told they where females) we I’m hoping this was a fluke. I’ll try the mirror trick. It seems to...

I lost him this morning. He seemed to be improving, It just wasn’t enough. I feel awful, even more so for the last little chick. Who’s doing very well, but cries constantly. Should I be handling him much? He’s definitely to tiny to introduce to our rooster.

Here’s a photo of the two left. One seems very active. He took his mix out of the dropper unassisted. But still isn’t showing interest in food or water.

The feed store breeds their own. So I’m guessing the two that passed where days old. The stronger one has a little less fluff.

Thank you for the responses. I’ve hand raised wild and domestic birds. I’m feeling awful about losing. These babies. I live in Mexico. The chick feed is in bags with no nutritional information. It’s also all that’s available, unfortunately. I turned the heat pad off. But the little one still...

We bought 4 chicks from our only local feed store. One died that night. Two where doing well, but the other was weak. I tried boiled yolk, which all three seemed to like. I just lost another while posting this. I tried raw egg yolk with sugar water, but it was too late. The weakest I wrapped in...
