Hello! I’m new here.
Someone recommended this page. Thanks for having me!
I’m somewhat new to chickens - I’ve had them for around 3 years. I recently got 6 baby chicks. They’re all acting normal except for 1, who was kinda weird when I first picked her up (very wobbly, etc). I was out of town and my boyfriend was caring for her - I got back and just checked her out. She has a very bloated belly and it’s squishy. She’s very lethargic. She’s a silver laced wynadotte and from what I understand, this has been her behavior for 2.5 weeks. So… I’m not sure what to do.
*We live in Estancia, NM. Our altitude is very high. I’m wondering if it could be water belly?
