This is Miss Terri ( because what kind of chick she is, is a missterri). She's 3 weeks old, and about a week ago, I really noticed her neck seemed crooked. But I didn't worry too much because she's .. different.
Well,I was noticing that the neck seemed to be getting more crooked....
Then tonight, I noticed it looked realy bad. As the chest feathers are coming in, you can see that they look crooked also. They look swirled.
On her shoulderblades? right above the wings, the skin is pink, and swollen looking, and there is no feathers on that area. (pictures are a little blurry, but I think you get the idea..
and right under her ear, on one side only, is the same bulging skin/no feather thing.
I went to check on them tonight, and she was in a corner, and another chick was laying directly on top of her. I reached in and picked her up- which is very unusual, because usually they all run screaming from "the hand". She didn't fuss while I held her,either.
I did see her eating and drinking. .. but, I'm getting a bit worried.
any ideas?
