She seems to be improving since last night. She gets around pretty good now with the hobble and can make her way to the water and drink. She's still not eating very well but she has stopped the panting/gasping/chirp. Every couple hours I make her a mash of warm water, mealworms and medicated starter and she gobbles it up. I have been massaging her crop too. I had to feel all the other chick necks and breast to see what it's supposed to feel like, I'm not to keen on chicken anatomy yet :/ I don't think it was full or anything but I could feel a little bit of a few small lumps in there. I'm super stoked she's felling better. When I get home today I'm going to take off the bandaid and see how she's doing. Oh, I also put paper towels down but the other chicks are scratching it and tearing it up so I may just go get some pine bedding.
Today I'm going to put them in a larger plywood brooder I made since a couple are flying and there all getting bigger.
Thanks again everyone for the suggestions!!
