I have a 10 day old chick that is probably dying.I think she has an impacted crop. She is very swollen on her right side. the top of th swelling is hard but lower it is soft and maliable. SHe is eating and drinking. her poop is very dry looking and frequent. She spends most of her time sleeping in the most horrible dead bird looking positions. So far for the last 2 nights I thought she would be dead my morning but she had been sitting and today she flew out of her isolation brooder and perched on the top . Now she is flopped over limp and asleep.
It is so hard to watch her die like this, looking dead one minute and then standing up for a few seconds. I can't euthanize her, yet is is horrible to watch her like this.
What would you do in this situation?
