3 day old, some sort of buble, not doing well

[MysteryChicken]

Yeah i got some of that and made some water. Dipped her beak in it all day yesterday so switched back to plain water today. I feel like i could do something. She's so sweet and wants to be on my shoulder. Maybe i gave her too much water

Continue with the vitamin water, & offer some scrambled eggs?

It didn't eat scambled eggs

I'll give it a few drops of nutra drench before bed and try and give it some water too

You can give some scrambled egg directly into the beak if needed

This could be one of those failure to thrive chicks too. Those most oftentimes die.

Guess if it's alive tomorrow morning I'll have to figure out how to put food in it's mouth.

So scrambled eggs is what i should try, white and yellow cooked correct?

Both yolk, & whites cooked, yes.


You just open the beak gently, & put some egg in the beak. The chick will do the rest.

So chop the scrambled eggs into tiny pieces i guess. Sorry, I'm an idiot. But I do my best

Small pieces yes. It's okay, you're not an idiot, it's a learning process.

Thank you everyone for help. It died. Crop seemed swollen or something.

That's unfortunate.

Can't save all of them.

I doubt it was a crop issue though. Had a chick with a blockage in the crop, that ate an excessive amount of food, then ended up with a slow crop. Took awhile to cure, but he's a grown rooster now.

My boy with slow crop.
