Dear all,
We recently hatched Brahma chicks for a friend under our broody.
2 of them died within 1-2 days and both had something under their vents - not on the vents but a bit lower, sort of like a large dried up scab. I think they had it since hatching, not sure.
Today I noticed another one with something very similar, a scab a bit lower than the vent (it's not stuck poo or anything I'm pretty sure). The chickie is very sad and weak, like when they are starting to get cocci. (in fact I gave him cocci treatment (Baycox) in water and then felt that thing on the tummy)
Could it be a serious problem? Anyone had something like this before? Is it possible to save this baby?
thanks a lot!
