So as I had posted I have a sick chick well he was fine and dandy when I checked him today at 5:30 AM but around 6 before I left he was very tired looking closing his eyes while standing and he stretches his neck up and opens his beak to seemingly take a breath he was eating fine but when I felt his gizzard it was empty I don't know why I have him alone but close to the other I don't wanna cause and outbreak amongst the healthy one ,but I have another problem one of the chicks gizzards always remains full is that normal is that bad he keeps eating but I fear it may rupture anybody got ideas?
Thank you for your help I am gonna try feeding the sick one with a syringe to administrate the food with water,the other one just really freaks me out his gizzard is like about to pop,every time I buy an animal I'm the pet shop the seem to be sick I'm no vetenarian but I have methods but I just feel so bad they they're sick
Wait!Alright then I'll try because for sure one must have impacted crop the other chick beak doesn't stink maybe he just hasn't eaten so I provided food the other chick with impacted crop I'll try the bread with oil all I have is vegetable oil is that good?
Alright but thank you anyway it was helpful info because I also have a rescue chicken and if it ever happens i know what to doI thought your were talking about grown chickens not babies. Dont take any of my advice. That's is all for adult birds
They need pebbles/Dirt/ small rocks to digest corn and anything else you feed them.It eats normally but the crop only goes down the slightest bit ,I don't have grit I don't even think they sell that where I live I have them broken corn with chick food and that's it
Don't mix corn with chick feed if they don't have grit.It eats normally but the crop only goes down the slightest bit ,I don't have grit I don't even think they sell that where I live I have them broken corn with chick food and that's it
