It sounds like your chick might be sick or stressed. If it has stopped eating, there could be several reasons,….

including cold temperatures, dehydration, infection, or digestive issues. Here are a few steps you can take:

 

1. Check the Temperature – If the chick is too cold, it won’t eat. Make sure it has enough warmth, especially if it is young. A heat lamp or warm area will help.

 

 

2. Give Clean Water – Dehydration can cause loss of appetite. Provide clean, fresh water and add some electrolytes or sugar water to boost its energy.

 

 

3. Check for Disease Symptoms – Look for signs like weakness, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, or puffed-up feathers. If you notice these, the chick may have an infection and might need antibiotics.

 

 

4. Offer Easily Digestible Food – Try giving soft food like mashed boiled eggs, wet chick starter feed, or even a small amount of honey mixed in water.

 

 

5. Use Multivitamins or Probiotics – You can buy poultry multivitamins or probiotics from a feed store to help boost the chick’s health.

 

 

 

If the chick doesn’t improve, it’s best to consult a vet or an experienced poultry farmer fo

r further advice.
