Anyone!?

It acts like it might have something stuck in its throat or maybe the crop is full that is what it looks like to me, hopefully someone with more knowledge of chicks will answer soon. just keep it warm and see how it does.

I'm not sure, it seems fine enough (hard to see with the lighting) until you hold it. Make sure it has enough water?

Hoping this bump will get someone else to chime in.

Sorry I'm not very experienced with the medical questions. Maybe pneumonia??? Mostly just guessing. Good luck. Here's a link to the Welp health guide.

Have you checked for crop impaction?

If it is crop thing... maybe some ACV in her water to aid in digestion?

How old is your baby? Have you seen it drinking or eating? How long has it been like that?

I have no idea what could be wrong, but I really hope you are able to find out and treat the little one. Let us know how it goes!
