Large Chest and Pasty Butt

[trhbrook]

I purchased from Wilco farm store a newly hatched chick baby 2 days ago. It has pasty butt (which has been mostly cleaned...vent is open) and a very enlarged chest. It seems the "older" of the 5 hatchlings purchased. It is a Delaware. Also the Light Brahama I purchased at the same time, died without symptom today, so I do not want to loose another chickie...the temp in the brooder is stable 95 tested on multiple thermometers and cooler at the end with the water and feed.

Is the chick drinking water? The crop may be full from food and water, but sometimes they will eat bedding, and that can e a problem. If you can get some Poultry NutriDrench or other electrolytes, give a couple of drops, and get it drinking.

She is drinking. I went out this morning to get electrolyte and probiotoc. Vent is clear so we will hope and pray she continues to get better
