I have a 2 week old seabright who until today has been thriving well.
He has been chirping his head off all day, appearing to be in distress. He also has a soft white creamy substance bellow his vent. It is easy to wipe clean, butt comes right back. He has had more loose stools than usual. And appears wet around his bum.
Could this be a yeast involvement already?
Yesterday I did also switch them to the nipple vs regular water feeder, which I have seen it use, but am concerned he is maybe getting dehydrated out of stubbornness in not wanting to use it as often as he needs. The other chicks are fine and getting plenty of water, I have confirmed that the nipple is dispensing water normally. I have added probiotics, and ACV to the water. And put a minimal amount of coconut oil to his bum. But I’m concerned that it could be something else.
Do any of the pros recognize what this may be?
Thank you!
