Little chick is down again . Very sad . She bounced back for a day or 2 but I feel like I’m gonna lose her tonight. SHes right back where she started. Very lethargic, little balance, no Care to eat or drink and slightly gasping with each breath. I noticed some weird body movements and actions As...
She’s doing a lot better thank you but still has a lot of weight To gain , she’s so skinny’s . Any tips on fattening her up ? She loves her apple , spinach recipe and blueberry baby food . Has access to that, medicated chick stater and obviously lots of water .
Not my chicken but my friend says it’s gotten bigger and bigger over the last week .itd not the breed, all other chicks have flat heads . She says the bump is more squishy than hard. Chick is eating drinking and acting normal . No signs of being pecked or anything like that . I’m contemplating...
This is insane ! I have another lengthy thread going about one of my friends chickens that I THOUGHT had an impacted crop. I’m no longer convinced it is an impacted crop . This morning I got a lot of food into her and her ACTUAL crop swelled up. So this massive bump on the chicks chest/neck is...
WOw, my friend sure has some bad luck. She has another chick with a bump on it’s head that went out of control over night . She is getting a very hard first lessson on raising animals.
Thanks so much for the reply , yes I know long thread , I’ve tired To include as much detail As possible. It’s the same 3 week old chick . I tried half a capsule of stool softener and got most of it into her . It did nothing for her crop so not sure I should do it again . I’m not gonna lie I...
Been giving her the coconut oil as often as possibles, but it’s hard to get into her. She’s good to take water when I offer it To her but not sure she’s not drinking on her own . Her crop Is still so hard I think I can follow it up her neck in a hard tube like . She has more energy and can stand...
I’m hoping it’s just irritation like you said . Still waiting to get a picture of her poop . It’s not all bloody just a few spots here and there .
She will drink but she won’t eat much at all . I’ve tired plain yogurt, plain baby food , the 2 mixed and just tried a little egg yolk with coconut...
I will do my best to get a clear picture of it next time she does. There is def a bit of mucousie blood here and there in it . I’m disappointed cause She has made so much progress , 2 days ago it could barley stand or keep its eyes open and now she’s is standing and moving around well, she’s...
Update She pooped again , this time we got black, brown , white and unfortunatley a little red bits. I saw a fleck of red in one of her other poops earlier today .
