    Chick with discharge from vent acting lethargic

    Update.. I cooled my brooder down significantly 2 nights ago and uncovered the top so they can get better ventilation and they’ve been steadily improving since.. all acting normal.. eating very well and drinking.. leaky discharge is gone in all but Annie and her is *almost* completely gone.. she...

    Update on the babies.. clementine seems to be doing well. I put a little Vetericyn on her butt but the inflammation seems to be pretty much gone. She’s acting fine and poo is normal. (Yay!) Not much change in Janis Joplin or Annie since this morning. They are eating and drinking. I put them...

    Update on my babies. The 5 healthy ones are still healthy and wild! I didn’t get to spend much time with them today but I checked in on them regularly and they are all thriving. Clementine - the one with the puffy vent .. she is pooping normally now, vent still puffy but otherwise acting fine...

    And this right here is why I’m scared to - I just went and replenished their food.. mashed with water.. and she’s right in there with the rest of them.. she lets them push her off of it a little but she’s hanging in there and getting fed. I know this doesn’t mean she’s out of the woods yet but...

    Thank you. I have been enjoying the babies very much but this has really brought me down. I’m watching them now and I see no signs of change since last night. There are 8.. 5 are as healthy as can be.. growing well and feathering.. giving me more laughs than I expected.. aside from a bit of...

    Chick with discharge from vent acting lethargic

    I’m afraid of that. I’ve been upset all evening. I feel like this is my fault and I’m wondering if I’m cut out for chickens if I can’t even keep them alive. I feel awful for not being able to figure this out. I have been told that with chickens you have to deal with loss more than with normal...

    Chick with discharge from vent acting lethargic

    The temp seems to be okay for all the rest of them.. they nap close to the light but not huddled under it and when not napping they’re playing happily throughout their pen. All except her. As of today she rarely leaves the light except to drink. I have a thermometer and try to keep it between 90...

    This is my setup. I have added a couple little things for them to jump up on and only using one of the lamps now. I fed mashed up food and water tonight.. everyone else loved it but she didn’t touch it. :/ will check on her in a bit. She does nothing but stand right under the light. She doesn’t...

    I’m posting pics of before washing, see the nasty poo butt? And after washing. It is already dripping a clear liquid immediately. I blow dried and applied blue kote again but I am losing heart. :( What am I doing wrong.

    Chick with discharge from vent acting lethargic

    She seems pretty chipper this morning! She started eating a lot more since I moved the food closer to the light so I’m thinking the lack of feathers was causing her to get chilled (which explains why she would eat a bit and run back to the light!!) I know these things can go up and down so I’ll...
