Hi there, It's likely a fluid filled crop or air bladder issue, chickens have air bladders around their bodies. Can you get pictures?View attachment 3187379
This chick had to manually be hatched. It is 6 days old. Today I noticed that it was stumbling around and it's crop was filled with gas. It hasn't eaten all day but it is drinking. Any advice??
It is definitely the crop, when it's air-filled and you lightly press on it, the chick burps. We aren't sure if this should be a cause for concern or not. Just now the chick has perked up and is walking fine, but the crop still fills with air/fluid.Hi there, It's likely a fluid filled crop or air bladder issue, chickens have air bladders around their bodies.

What happened with your chick? I fed my hens some old food and their crops ballooned up with gas. I don’t know if they will be okay or if I should do something to help them?
