Hi everybody... I really need your help: I have a 3,5 month old chick and have no idea what's wrong with her. I've been reading about illness and nothing seems to match her sympthoms. She es weak, eating and drinking, but she lays all day long. Her legs feel kind of weak too, it's like she has no strength at all.
What worries me the most is that it seems like she stopped growing when she was two months old. I live in Chile, so I don't know what the real name of its breed is, but we call it "Gallina de la Pasion" or "Passion Chick", they are really small.
Here are some pictures...
there she was about 3 weeks old, with her proud owner (my 3 year old daugther)
Here, she is about 1,5 months old...
Almost 2 months...
I just took this last one, about the same size as a month ago. Her eyelids seem kind of swollen, but that's it. I can't think of anything, I don't know what to do!! We have really fallen in love with her, we live in an apartment and I am building a wonderfool coop for her to live in. For now, she has a big cage with bedding, a little bit of sand, some sticks for her to stand on and two wooden stories for her to climb (where she used to come up to whenever we came around).
I've been looking at pictures of chicks at that age and they all seem a lot bigger and more developed than she is. I really hope I can do something for her to be the one she was a month ago
Any ideas?
