I went to a feed store (not my normal one) to get some more chick feed..... they had cages of chicks with some of the WORST pasty butt!!!! I couldn't buy them all, but did get the worst looking four! (I know, SUCKER!) One is an EE, one is a Silkie, the other two are bantams, but not sure what kind. Two of them had it so bad, the "blob" weighed them down so that they were falling over backwards!!! I proptly cleaned them up and put them into an isolated brooder with medicated chick feed and water with small amount of Poly-Vi-Sol. HAD to get to work at that point. Got home from work, EE hasn't moved ALL DAY! Can't get it to eat or drink. (it was actually the best looking of the four this morning) Three little ones, not looking so great, but up and moving. Made sure all were freshly cleaned and dabbed Olive oil on ...... actually saw them nibble a little bit of food. BUT, I haven't seen any of them poop at all!!! If they are constipated, what should I try???? And what can I try to stimulate EE's appetite???
(honestly not holding out much hope on the EE given the listlessness and refusal to eat)
I know the answers are probably somewhere in this forum, but REALLY need help quick!!
Edited to try to add pics......problems with upload.
