Is she a normal, BB? Or some kind of Pied? I'm having some trouble with the white pied baby I picked her up to have a look at her, and she had dried poop all over her vent She's looking smaller today too. I cleaned it off with some luke warm water, but I'm worried about her size. Hopefully she's ok today, and maybe it's dehydration from the temperature increase? I'm going to keep a close eye on her, make sure the mama is feeding her.

Doesn't look pied to me in this picture.
Is the white pied being fed properly by the hen?

I monitored her last night and this morning, and I don't think she is! I've ordered some formula on express delivery and I mixed up a tiny batch of home made formula and fed her some. She ate a little and now her crop isn't empty (she hadn't been fed at all today), so I'm hoping if I keep doing that she'll be ok All of the other chicks are massive and healthy!

If you have any pellets, soak and ground some to make her diet until formula arrives. I hope she is OK.

She is surprisingly good! Mama has started feeding her again I still need to clean her vent a couple of times a day, but she's still here ^_^

Chick 1 and two have helf the box, they go back in to nap though. Chick 3 passed away I was trying to feed him, but he didn't want to eat. I am super sad about this. Chick 4 is getting really big and came out of the box once so far.
