one of the chicks was lagging behind... i noticed that she is the smallest.
she stands by the food but eats little, her crop is not full like the others.
i was trying to force feed her a few crumbles, realized that her nostril is blocked. i use FF so it's wet, looks like she got pushed into it and now has food up her nose and can't breathe. i tried to clear it out... but she still looks like she is having trouble, i can't get it all.
i think she won't make it if i don't get her eating and drinking today. it's like having a cold - i never want to eat because i can't breathe and eat at the same time. but she isn't going to make it if she doesn't.
ideas?
