I think our 3 week old Buff is sick :(

Does anyone know that of an online vet we could do a video appt with? I don’t know what to do for her. I can’t tell if her abdomen is swollen and that is causing her leg issues, or if she is having leg issues? Wondering if it could be a leg issue up higher near her hip or something. We have been giving electrolytes and Corid for two days, she doesn’t seem to be getting better and doesn’t seem to be getting worse.

I don't know of a vet that does/did do that. Maybe now they do, call the vets in your area and see. You don't say where you are. . . . Good Luck.

Pretty young to need worming.

Could be coccidiosis. Pic of poop would help.

Has her leg always been wonky?

what kind of food are you giving them?

Her poop looks normal. One of their chickens has diarrhea and we thought it was her but it was not. I honestly can’t tell if she is having leg issues due to a swollen abdomen, or if she is having leg issues separately. We are on day 3 of using Corid though and no changes at all. I was thinking about trying to treat it like sprawled leg, because how her legs look, but worried she won’t be able to stand or sit comfortable, and it could hurt her abdomen with her legs bound closer together.

small chicks are very sensitive until the 21st day give them the right iniciation ration - vitamins and calcium balanced is very important
