Welcome To BYCMy 5 weeks old chick is puffed up. He is not eating and drinking anything from 3 days. He is sleeping alot in standing position. His poop is white and jelly like. What should I do?
I am from kashmir india. I have been feeding him only corn scratches and boiled egg yolk.Welcome To BYC
Can you please post some photos of the chick and his poop?
What do you feed including treats?
What does his crop feel like?
Where are you located in the world?
Have you tried giving him drops of water to see if he will take them in. If he's not drank in 3 days, then he's dehydrated.
A puffed up chick, I would begin treating for Coccidiosis. You can find Corid (Amprolium) in the cattle section of Tractor Supply.
Dose for Liquid Corid is 2tsp per gallon of water and dose for powdered Corid is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water. Give for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.
If the chick is not drinking, then give him drops of the mixed Corid water frequently.

No, I have not given them grits yet.I'm sorry he's not doing well.
I'm going to tag in @Saaniya to help as well. She is in India so if more familiar with products, feeds, etc. that you may have available.
Are you providing grit for your chick too?
