Floppy chick with inflamed umbilical.

[Molpet]

The chick has passed on. I was trying to give it more water, it gave a tremendous spasm and then went completely floppy and stopped breathing. All the other chicks are looking great. We have 14 others and two that are still hatching.

so sorry

How we doing so far Rae?

The chick is less floppy now. Didn't find it on its back this time and the umbilical looks less inflamed. Still weak, not walking properly, but holding its head up and looking more alert.

Is the chick eating and drinking? If not you need to make to eat and drink

The chick is only about 24 hours old. I've been dipping it's beak every time I get my hands on it. It isn't interested in food.

It was likely for the best though. I still do not like it when that happens
