I have many hens and their little baby chicks

And one of the baby chick seems to be sick she can't move actively
I see her little legs it's little swelling

I don't think so its a bumble foot

Is it possible


And I have serious problem on my little baby chicks
They have a digestion issue

I can't solve it

Last 1 little chick was dead

Few more seems to sick like her

Are you feeding them anything other than chick starter?

If you supplement with chick grit on the side it helps them digest things other than their feed. You can try ACV in their waterer too, you add 1 TBS per gallon of water. This helps with digestion too. I'm not sure if they have impacted crops (from eating bedding or other things), you can give them coconut oil to help loosen things up. You'd be able to feel that the crop is really full after they've been sleeping all night, it's best to check this before they eat in the morning.

I can't really tell if it's swelling because I can't see both feet. It doesn't look like bumble foot because there is no scab. Maybe some Neosporin on the swollen part, could be some type of infection. You can treat with antibiotics, but I'll let others give their advice too. I'm unsure on what's safe for chicks because I've never had swollen feet on chicks just adults.

Good luck with everything!

Thanks for this

I feed little grain feed to them

And ofcourse ACV in their water too

And I applied antibiotics too
