Chirping
My two week old chick just all of a sudden started running a fever and breathing heavy and rapidly. It also has a little bit of pasty-butt and it has a coarse sounding chirp along with frequent sneezes. It almost seems like a chicken form of a cold. What can I do to help my little guy get better? It seems really strange that something like this is coming along after two weeks of perfect health. Some more information him; he is the only one who hatched out of four eggs and has a mirror in his pen to keep him company. I am not currently putting electrolytes in his water but I am getting some right after i post this. I raised two other chicks in the same pen before I moved them outside with the big birds, and I cleaned the pen thoroughly before putting him in it. If there is any more information that might help, just please let me know!
