This is Dottie, 4wk-old Silver-Laced Wyandotte. I trimmed her beak a few days ago but not much pale part to take off. She's done okay until now but I think she's not able to get enough nutrition to match how much she needs for her size. Her poop is dark brown and runny. Today I made a mash for her and she may have gotten some of it down but does lots of beak-banging to get the mush off. I fed her with an eye-dropper, which worked better but seems like the water-to-food ratio is too high for her to get nutrition. What about hand-feeding her worm pieces dipped in sand? She peeps a lot and it makes me so sad. I really don't want to lose her. Will her lower beak grow enough to make it easier for her to eat? I read a post about a meat bird with this plus a chin tumor. Dottie has the same tumor.
