Hello,
I still can't find any info about chicks drooling. A little 1 week old buff orp had drool coming out of its mouth and I tried giving it extra water and some yogurt/crumbles mixture to make sure it was getting enough to eat and drink but today it died. Does anyone know about this? My major concern is that it's some illness and will spread, but hopefully not. It's very sad to lose that one but hopefully it's just delayed effects from the fatigue of travel or something. I got them locally but it was a bit of a drive (hour and a half) and my husband will not tolerate the heat in the car very long, even with new baby chicks.
Maybe it just got chilled? But what about that drool- I've never seen that in a chick before. The others are as energetic as ever, thank goodness.
Thank you,
Frances
