My pied chick is failing to thrive. It's bottom has been swollen from day one. I thought it was just from the yolk absorbing, but it hasn't gone down. It's like a pot belly but in it's hind end. And it doesn't want to stand, eat or drink. I don't know what to do!
So sorry... It's probably a yolk sac infection. There is a very slim chance of saving it if you give it Baytril. One or two tiny drops orally of 10% Baytril from the end of a 22 gauge needle is what I do.
I'm gonna guess that it's not pooping.
