new peachick, alone and needs to eat/drink

[Fuzzybird1]

I have an unexpected newly hatched peachick, just one right now. How do I get it to eat? I have him in a brooder with gamebird crumbles sprinkled on the floor. He is running around peeping and not eating. I also need to get his water ready. He just hatched today. What should I do? He seems very healthy and I want him to stay that way!

I don't know about peachicks, but for chickens you take some scrambled egg and offer it and the bright yellow color attracts them to eat. And for water, make sure you dip their beak in the water so they know what it is.
Hopefully an expert will jump in on this!

The chick will have enough egg yolk in it to survive for a few days, it is not imperative to feed it right away. It will start to peck at most everything soon and find the feed. Dipping its beak in the water is the first thing you should do but feed is not a requirement yet. Put a bright marble in the water to encourage it to drink.
