hi again! the chick is now 7 weeks old. she still has the mass, but it is now soft and a bit smaller than a ping-pong ball… feels like a full crop might feel. she is still eating, drinking, growing, and moving about normally. it doesn't sound like ascites, as her feathers are growing...
Thanks for the great input syndey acres... I pm'd just now, so crossing fingers. Kiforgot, i'll get back to you if i can't find the dayolds. We love hand raising our fuzzbutts!
