Hello, this chicken hatched with an umbilical hernia. It has been doing okay, eating and drinking, other than having very rapid short breathing. It also seems to be growing a little bit slower than the rest. Today it started to almost be gasping for air and I don’t know what to do. It breathes in with and open beak and then out through its nostrils, but very fast (don’t really know how to explain it) I know it’s not panting, because the brooder is exactly 99, and all the other chicks are just fine. Any advice is helpful!!
