My one femal CL is gasping for air with every heart beat.... Dosent want to walk and its abdomen feels tighter possibly bloated more than the other 32 chicks i have right now. Laying down and refuses to walk. 4 days old.... What to do. None of the other chickens are havkng any problems. So shouldbt be heat l, food, water or brooder bedding.... Could she be backed up with poop? Should i just leave her alone instead of compounding problems?
Does she have pasty butt? If so wash her gently in warm water. Try dipping beak in the water. I would separate her if they're all in one brooder. I had a shipped chick who looked dead upon arrival but I separated and nursed back. She perked up and looked better so I put her back with the others and took a nap. When I awoke she was dead.
