Help!!! Chick is dying

[FarmsteadOn4thStreet]

Before I say anything about putting her down, is she pooping? It does look like torn intestine.

She had one poop that was runny and yellow and white. Looked more like puss.

It looks like a cannibalized chick. What are you feeding them?

Medicated starter feed

If it does it again, it could be poop, & the intestines may still be intact. But wound is pretty severe.

We decided this morning that she’s in too much pain and it just wasn’t fair for her that we sit here just wishing she gets better so we put her down. Not a fun decision to make but I have to believe it was the right one

S/he's in a better place. Yes, not a fun decision to make.
