Chick is acting normal but looks weird?

[Eggcessive]

Do the other birds have large abdomens as well? It might be normal for him at this age to be very round, but it just looks a bit enlarged in the pictures.

Iv'e read through your previous threads.
Is it possible to see photos of your entire setup for birds this age?

Will do soon hopefully, ill take a video so that I can explain how everything is going on in my chicken coop. I will release it within this week but in the meantime, I will look for sulfur antibiotics or amprolium for mu chicks as @Wyorp Rock and @Eggcessive suggested

Actually, the photos do in fact make the abdomen seem larger than it is. Compared to the other chicks this one just doesn't have that much hair in its abdominal region but is the only one that had a full dark abdomen and vent so I was worried. It is still very active and not lethargic at all. I remember seeing somewhere though I can't put my finger on as to where there was this one article that talked about chick diseases and showed an image of a fully dark and moist abdomen.

That disease is mushy chick disease or omphalitis, and those chickens always die in their first 2 weeks. If your chickens are all acting normal and eating/drinking well, I would probably just concentrate on the one with the vent damage from the pecking. That is in your other thread.

If they start acting sick, lethargic, puffed up, not eating,runny poops or blood, then treat for coccidiosis with the amprol or sulfa if you find it.
