Urgent help please swollen neck 3 days old chick

It is more important that your chick stays hydrated than fed. Also, you can mix a little sugar and water to give her a boost. Definitely keep going with the raw egg... as much as she will eat.

If you have access to anything like a child's electrolyte drink (we have Pedialyte here in the States), you can give her some of that, too.

Yogurt it okay, but it's better if you can give her probiotics in her water... Chickens aren't mammals and can't handle dairy very efficiently.

I hope she pulls through.

Sorry I mixed starter and scumbled egg together. I have managed to get Tiny to eat it, I forced it a little.
But Tiny is standing taller today. Still trying to make her pull through.


Call you local pet stores and find out what baby bird foods are available in Australia.

Hi everyone, thank you for your help on this matter and the little frizzle is perfect and healthy thanks to you. Unfortunately 3am brought some bad news and Tiny the naked neck stopped the hard fight for life.

This one has hit hard and hurt as after all your help and 4 days, Tiny gave up, and I was exteamly upset.
I sad it come to this as I thought Tiny was doing better..
