Hello!
This is our LF Self Blue Cochin chick. She's about two weeks old. She had a little bit of a cough last week, but we really cleaned out and expanded to brooder and switched to less dusty food and it seemed to have gotten a lot better. Today, though, she's been doing this. What's wrong with her? How can I help?
Here's what I know:
Here's what I know:
- She did not have this issue last night, but it's been going on at least since I first checked up on them this morning (almost three hours ago)
- She is the smallest and lightest of the chicks, just behind our polish, although she has been eating or drinking normally
- She has not eaten or drank, so far as I've seen, this morning. She has spent her time underneath the Mama Heating Pad, and will sit complacently in my hand if I pick her up
- They were on electrolyte water for the first few days, but no longer are. Should I add it back in?
- No other chicks are experiencing her symptoms
- Her head tilting back thing seems pretty regular; has not sped up or slowed down over the course of the morning (as far as I can tell)
- I tried tilting her head down a little to see if she has something stuck in her throat, but it didn't help.
