My little gray keet has not kept pace with growth of others in her hatch. Keets are seven days old. Fed Purina Gamebird 30% protein starter crumble and chick grit. Water and water +Sav-A-Chick electrolytes and probiotics available.
I noticed around four days of age that she seemed to not be growing like the others. At seven days old, her feather development is behind the others.
Her crop gets very large and bulgy. So I researched that and started removing food and water overnight, trying to get her to consume coconut oil, and massaging her crop. Crop does seem to reduce overnight. She greedily fills it right up in the morning.
Behaviorally she acts like the others and is eating, drinking, pooping, active. Anything I can do to help her?
