Chick injured? Posted pic graphic

Hi! How is she today? Looks like you are doing a great job!

She's still sleeping most of the day. I am worried about her making poops because she has a hard sac stuck to her. I'm wondering if I should soak her bottom in warm water and try to loosen it up. I need to figure out something to do for her I feel like she should be moving more and worried that she has not walked yet.

I'm trying so hard with her

Good news. I finally got up the nerve to let her soak in a warm bath. She loved it and I worked all that crust off her bottom and opened her vent. I am now waiting for her to dry under the heating lamp so I may feed her some egg yolks and water. Fingers crossed

Yes!!! We have a poop!! I'm so excited I was hollering because she had a bm

How is your chicke today?

Same as yesterday. Still not doing much. I am feeding her a bit more and have her a chick chair to sit in so she can move her legs. She such a sweetie. She was born Tuesday 4/21 and is smaller than my day old chick just born. I hope I'm doing everything right. When I feed her she acts like she's choking so I only give her between 3 to 5 drops at a time. She had a poop today too so I was happy to see she is digesting the food. I will keep everyone up to date with her condition.

I am deeply saddend to say that she lost her life tonight. I noticed her gasping for air so I held her during her last minutes. She made a turn for the worst quickly. I am heartbroken and even though I am questioning everything I did for her I know I did everything I could. My husband helped me burry her in the flower garden and we came up with a name for her. Chloe. She is not suffering and in a better place. I am thankful I got to give her that shot at life when most would have not. I grow emotionally attached to each of my animals. I did not even have a week with her but I spent so much time with her. I appreciate all the support from everyone who has followed her short life. I am just so tore up right now. Thank you all!

Good job! I had some luck using some ground oatmeal with my messy butt chicks. They like it and the loose stools cleared up very quickly.
