    3 month old chick not eating or pecking correctly

    Hmm... eyes looked ok to me. I think we're just taking to spoon feeding her every day and hope that she improved over time. She looks happy and runs around. I'll keep an eye on her to see if anything changes.

    3 month old chick not eating or pecking correctly

    That is a really good idea! I shall look at her eyes in the morning. That would really make sense. I did give her some ground up feed with water with a syringe. I put a little bit on my hand for her to peck and she was just completely missing it so the eyesight thing might have something to do...

    3 month old chick not eating or pecking correctly

    Hi there, I have a strange question. My chick is 3 months old but she is not growing at all. She is like a third of the size of the others and they are all the same age. When she was growing she developed a hook beak which caused her lots of problems eating so over the course of the 3 months, we...

    *side note We've also seperated her from the rest. I guess I would like to know whether I should feed her or not. As she needs to eat because she is so weak but not sure if I can if she's got sour crop??

    She's also pecking her own feet ALL the time now to the point where it looks as though she's starting to get sores on them. A bit weird?

    Urgent! Baby chick keeps sitting down and sleeping and is off balance

    Thank you so much for your help!! Ok, she did 1 big poo earlier. It was very watery and yellowish and I think I found a bit of orange or blood but it's hard to tell. Doesn't look like the pictures I found on the internet though. The second one was small but looked quite healthy. I got some...

    Please help! Baby chick has white runny diarrhea

    I fed her what the chicken farmer gave me. They said that it would be fine for them. I think it's quite crushed up for them. I don't feed them anything else. When she was sick, I gave them all a tiny bit of egg, that was all. I do think maybe they eat their bedding sometimes though and maybe...

    Urgent! Baby chick keeps sitting down and sleeping and is off balance

    Great, thank you. Yes, I think she has cocci. The video in that link was very helpful. I've managed to talk the vet into coming in and giving me some medicine for her. However, if my chickybabe is on day 4 of the cocci disease, do you think she still has a chance if she gets the medicine today...

    Please help! Baby chick has white runny diarrhea

    Well, I thought I should update you in case someone else has the same problem. My poor little baby didn't make it :( Oh it was so saaaaad. I took her to the bird specialist twice. They gave me medicine and we were feeding her crushed up food and water with a syringe. On the second visit, the vet...

    Please help! Baby chick has white runny diarrhea

    Yes, I have coconut oil on the shelf! Should I give it to her to eat or should I rub it on her pore little sore bottom? Excuse my naivety. Pippa.

    Please help! Baby chick has white runny diarrhea

    Thank you so much! This is great info. Ah, I'm so anxious and it's so relieving to have this forum to be able to get some wise information! Ok, now my problem is, my little chick isn't drinking ANY water now, even if I dip her beak in it. But she is still eating a bit. Do you think I can put it...

    Please help! Baby chick has white runny diarrhea

    Thanks so much for your quick response! It doesn't look like vent gleet as her poo it solid white but it might be the baby chick version of it? I will look into gentian violet or blue-kote first thing in the morning and see if I can find it! Thank you!

    Please help! Baby chick has white runny diarrhea

    Hi, our baby chicks are just over one week old and today I noticed that one of them had a white pooey bum. I thought it was pasty butt so we cleaned it off but then more kept coming out. Not a huge amount, just constant. She's also pecking A LOT at her butt, and after about 1 hour, she had...
