long story short, weve had a rash of raccoon break ins, my husband trapped them, and we thought it was over. well, 2 days ago 2 polish chicks went missing, thought they were gone, but we found them today stuck and smashed behind a nest box! they are still alive but look terrible. i will post pics when i have time. they are peeping and eating, but the wings are very droopy, and they look greasy, some feathers are missing, especially on top of their heads. most concerning is that one has a huge ballon for a crop. the neck and chest and shoulder area look like they are filled with air! its soft and squeezale like a balloon, its just filled with air! what is this! will they die! is there something i can do!? they are 9 weeks old.
Note the huge balloon-like bubbles on their chest, shoulder, and crops. They're much bigger than the picture shows.
