It’s the umbilicus and don’t pick at it. You can gently clean it. Put some salve on it and keep the little chick warm and hydrated with a little bit of chick food or even scrambled egg.
Put her in a warm soak. Let her sit in warm sudsy water. Put a glove on and lube up your fingers, gently tuck all protruding material back in. Then I agree with the sugar water. That will perk her up. Make a nice meal of worms. See how that go.
Also, did she lay an egg? If not, when you tuck...
I live outside of town, on a metes and bounds property. I have 2 roosters and my neighbor has one that I slipped into her coop when she wasn't looking.🫣 In my area of Michigan, that is about the best scenario for a rooster. I do have varmints and I have a small 410g shot gun for those pests. 😏
I bought several chickens from TSC. It’s was like a blue light special🥹. They are all doing well. But for life of me, I have no idea the breed. If you need more pics, I’ll run right out and get more pics. Thank you all!
Well I'm finally on here. It's been a long busy day.
My husband called me around 1:00 today to say he found our new little girl dead. The other 13 are doing fine. So thank you all for your ideas. I believe she had a congenital deformation.
Thank you all again.
Thank you all. I'll will weigh her. :fl (why didn't I think of that?:hmm )
I've added Brewers Yeast to their food now.
I'll keep updating as this goes. Thank you all again.
I took a video for you all. The black ones are the girls I bought for myself. Perkins are for my kids. So looking at the blacks, you will see the difference in the one in question.
ok so I purchased a dozen ducks from a hatchery. I buy from them every year, and I have contacted them about this. But they are at a loss as I am.
This duckling is a Black Swedish duck. She is one week old now and has been puking up clear mucus when she is picked up. She is definitely failing...
Pretty nice looking girl you have there! I have a big girl Jersey Giant. I thought she was possibly a rooster until I saw her stand up and an egg popped out. :yesss:
