hello !
Quick question as its already too late probably. Baby chick assisted hatched. About 5 days old now. Had a swollen belly i thought might have been normal from the yolk sack. went a bit smaller but one half of her belly still swollen plus the dried belly 'cord' stump still attached. she doesnt seem as active as normally chicks should by now and im a bit late to the conclusion that she might have omphalitis. since it was an accidental "litter" i noticed the dirty egg too late plus she came 6 days later than all other chicks.(had to continue incubating her myself) i only have lincospectin soluble powder at hand.
what would be the dosage in water and is that even an acceptable antibiotic in this case and is 5 days too late ?
kind regards
