I live in the Cayman Islands where chickens are feral and I found 2 baby chicks that I am guessing are around a week old by now. I bought food for them from the feed store but I don't think the guy sold me the right stuff! It has lots of seeds and one of the babies would only eat hard millet seeds. After a few days I realized his crop had turned into a little bean bag - full of seeds! And now it won't empty! I have tried mixing olive oil and coconut oil with ground up oats and cornmeal, and am trying to get her/him to drink lots of water but he/she hardly wants any. K massage the crop a lot and have soaked her bum in warm water to try and fet her to poop more. I can feel ways less seeds in there now but it is definitely swollen and way bigger than the other chicks. Any suggestions? I just love this little guy!
