Hi all, I have recently hatched 9 chicks about 5 days ago. However, one of the chicks, who was hatched a day later than the others began to have symptoms associated with aspergillosis or brooder pneumonia. The chick was gasping for air, fatigued, and barely ate or drank. No other chicks displayed any symptoms, and I believed that the hemp bedding was the culprit, so I removed it and disinfected the brooder. To treat the chick, I decided to give it garlic water, with sugar and vitamins mixed in it yesterday. Yesterday, I was certain it wasn't going to make it through the night but today, it seemed to be doing better than last night. It was eating, and it seemed to have a bit more energy. So I was wondering if it is possible for a very young chick to recover from aspergillosis, and what long term effects it may have on them?
