    The poor little chicky passed away overnight I tried to help it out but unfortunately there must have been something else going on with the poor little dear. Thank you everyone for your advice.

    Advice please... Splayed leg chick

    I think I found a picture of what you are referring to, I managed to get hold of a sock and cut out leg, head and poop holes, but while I was cutting I have chicky sitting in the dog bed (no dog in it at the time of course! ;)) and it managed to support itself to sit upright instead of...

    Advice please... Splayed leg chick

    Curly toe seems to be super fine, I have started integrating it into the brooder with the 'healthy' chicks and they tower over him, so supervised play times at the moment... The splayed leg chick still has no strength in its leg, is drinking from droplets from a syringe with electrolytes and...

    Puffy/Inflated chest/breast/belly

    Just thought I would give an update on my little Sussex chicky. She seems totally fine now, has a tiny little amount of 'puffy-ness' but her breathing is completely back to normal and is happy. Thank you again for all of your help!!!!! :)

    Puffy/Inflated chest/breast/belly

    So.. we have now 'deflated' her twice with minimal air blowing her up now. I have put her back in with her buddies and trying to keep them quiet (hard with 4 week old hey!) I was very worried as she jumped at one stage and cause some blood but this stopped quickly and she seems happy breathing...

    Puffy/Inflated chest/breast/belly

    I am very nervous about piercing her as there are so many veins travelling through the area that is inflated. All of the videos I have just watched have me worried she will not be able to breathe and my making her situation worse. It is crackling slightly and she has trouble breathing but only...

    Puffy/Inflated chest/breast/belly

    Hey DaviJones! Super informative thank you! After doing a bit of searching around I am concerned we might have a ruptured air sac, she was a little louder with breathing last night, however I will give her some massages and some grit (I wasn't sure whether youngsters of her age were able to have...
