    Need help with chick.

    I will get pics of her today when I get home. Its hard to get pics of her poop bc she's in a brooder box with 9 others. I do take food & water away at night, I have for almost a week & there has been no change in her crop. Thats the puzzling part to me too, bc she's definitely still active &...

    I tried coconut oil, she wouldn't eat it. The other chicks loved it but she showed no interest at all. She's pooping fine from what I can tell.

    Its been almost a week & she still has the swollen chest & it hasn't gone down at all. She seems to be okay, she's walking, eating, drinking, she will let me hold her. Im not sure what to do at this point.

    I've put a small bowl of grit in with them & tried the crop massage too. Ive had someone tell me to put a little olive oil in her water. Is that good or bad advice?

    Still pretty large. A little more squishy than it was yesterday but definitely didn't go down any. I added probiotics to the water this morning. Shes moving around just slow going.

    Yes, I check all 10 regularly to make sure the vents are clean. Shes good there. She has been drinking & eating a little, she's gotten to where she doesn't move around alot though.

    Yes I plan to do that. But in the event that it doesn't help I'd like to go ahead & have ideas for what I need to be able to treat her quickly. She's already been this way for 2 days & I dont want her suffering.

    What can I do to treat her? What do I need to do or what products do I need to get to help? I don't want my feathered baby suffering.
