Chicks breathing weird! Please help 🥺

Sweet babies!

How is the splay legged one doing? Is her walking improving?

The blind one, all you can do is keep food/water in the same place and continue to work with her, see how it goes.

The splay leg baby is doing great! We took the brace off and she can walk and even run. She wasn’t eating or drinking, but a family member saw her eating this morning. Hopefully she’ll live.

This sounds promising.

Put the brace back on the splay leg one, her legs were starting to creep out again, I think we took it off a little too soon. Besides that I think she’s doing fine! I’m not sure with the blind one, I don’t know if she’s eaten.

Hopefully bracing again will help.

I'd check the blind one's crop, you should be able to feel if she has had anything to eat/drink.

She’s feeling pretty tiny, I’m pretty sure she hasn’t eaten. She pooped and it looked like clear liquid. I made a super watery mash, and gave her some drops. I’ll keep doing that but I don’t know if that will really help.

I'm sorry to hear this, it does sound like she's failing to thrive. Just do the best you can. Often if one develops with no eyes and is blind, they have other internal development issues as well.

I gave her some more of the super watery mash and she drank a little out of the bowl. The other one is still breathing hard but seems to be eating. I’m pretty sure she feels a little heavier today, and seems to be pooping normal. She does seem to get pasty butt a lot, any idea why?
