In the Brooder
hi everyone!! i just picked up 3 new chicks on friday (welsummer, cuckoo maran & a legbar). the welsummer and the legbar are doing just fine but my maran has low energy, she looks thin, and both her wings are very very droopy. i’ve been taking her out of the brooder a few times a day to feed and water her separately, just to make sure she’s actually getting nutrients, bc i don’t see her eating while in the brooder. she eats& drinks just fine on her own but the other symptoms have me worried. both her wings are very very droopy. i’ve googled “chicks with broken wings” and it kind of looks like that’s what’s happening, but i’m a novice so i’m not sure! i handle all of them very very gently so i’m not sure how they could have gotten broken, which makes me think it’s something else. vent is clear, belly button looks fine, and as i mentioned she does eat and drink. anyone have any ideas?? thanks in advance!!!
