It is my experience, a baby chick needs 4 things: heat (usually a light bulb), water (with "Quik Chic" added), food, and fresh bedding....in that order.
After supplying those basic needs if you chick runs in to trouble and gets sick, there are several things I have tried. After dry food is rejected - try adding warm water to make a MASH. If that is not enough - go back to basics. While the chick was forming in the shell it lived on air and one other thing......the yoke! Go back and try boiling an egg. Take out the yoke - mash it up in a bit of water. It may be just the thing.
There are many websites that are wonderful resources.
www.feathersite.com
www.mcmurrayhatchery.com - has a chick care page
to name a few.
Good Luck with your patient.
