My almost 3 year old accidentally held the poor little chick too hard. This happened while I was taking care of pasty butts of three other little ones right next to her. As I look over I discovered that the chick was almost limp. I immediately removed the chick out of her hand and checked if the chick was still alive. It took a couple of seconds - maybe up to 30 seconds - of the chick being limp. Then it started to lift back up, chirp and even stand back up. I have been keeping an eye on the little one for the last 12h and it's been very sleepy and just not as active as before. It doesn't seem to have any interest in food or water at the moment. While it can stand and walk it seems pretty shaky and wobbly on it's legs. Will it bounce back? What can I do to help?
I feel so bad about this happening in front of my eyes.
