I'm having a problem with my chick. I'm wondering what to do. Please help.
1) What type of bird: I can't specify
2) The Behavior: laying down frequently and eating and drinking regularly.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms? Since he was born on march 4.
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms? No
5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma. A little bleeding and a seem of injury he has his leg curled and doesn't move that much but still does.
6) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation. No
7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all. She eats and drinks the starter chick feed, and drink his water nice and regularly
8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc. I think it is normal. No blood
9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far? I have not tried anything because I don't know what to do.
10) Describe the housing/bedding in use. I use fine pine shavings.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be happening? Thankyou for any help you can give me.
