3 week old chick is always staying on chest and butt up. What is the problem? Is there anything i can do to help the Little guy?

I am not sure of the breed but most probably it's a Cornish X. Even tho it should sit on it's legs with the head up. But this one sits with it's head downwards butt upwards and puts a lot of pressure on it's crop. It also can't stand on it's legs.
What can i do cuz it seems like S/he is in very much pain

Hello! What are you feeding it?

Can you give her raw yolk? Also give her nutri drench if you have it, if not unsulphured molasses would be good too. Can you get some b vitamins?

What do her poops look like?

her poop looked just fine, but she didn't pooped till now today. it's 6:30 pm here. i checked many times for pasty butt but she seems totally fine :"( are all Cornish X chicks like this?

I wonder if she has an infection, do you have oregano and manuka honey?

No, they're not like that. My neighbor raises them, he usually only loses a couple.

When did you start hand feeding egg yolk? Just a couple of days ago, you posted that your chicks will only eat raw raw rice. I’m glad they’re eating better now.

Something to consider: starting new posts every day for the same problems makes it hard to keep track of all the information you’ve gotten. You have received good advice on your other threads about proper feeding and their nutritional needs, and why they are unable to walk. I do hope their health improves now that they’re getting chick starter.

no i always force fed them egg yolks and other stuff like starter from the begening, they just won't eat it on their own. but her condition looks bad i screched online and i guess she has the Mushy chick disease.

maybe some kind of infection i screched online and it seems similar to the mushy chick disease. is there anything to treat the chick? like medicine?

From what I read mushy chick disease is fatal. I'm sorry
