Chicken Body Is filled with air

[zubayer204]

Hello,
Unfortunately I am facing some problems with my small chicken flock. On of my 2months chick is sick. His body is filled up with air. He is looking like a balloon now. I am feeling pity for him but can't do anything. Can anyone suggest me anything what I can do for him? Please help me!

It’s probably fluid; sounds more like water belly (ascites).

NO. I tested if it is ascites. But there's no fluid in it. It's just air. Thanks for your suggestion.

Do you have any pictures? It sounds like he has gotten bumped which has caused subcutaneous emphysema (ruptured air sac.) Sometimes it is caused by infection, but usually an injury. Is he having difficulty breathing. Is it spreading all over? You can insert a hypodermic needle or sterile sewing needle under the skin which will enable you to press out air under the skin. The air can reaccumulate, so it may need to be repeated. Here is a video showing deflation of a bird with a leaking air sac:
