I Just received my new chicks from MM hatchery and all seem well except for one, and not sure if i should worry! I put some sugar water in the cage and used an old spoon with spots on it to get them to drink (they peck at the spots and it tricks them into drinking, ha ha!) One of my little hamburgs was a little sluggish when she arrived so I wanted her to drink first, and she started just sucking it down. I was relieved at first, but noticed every time she drank she tipped her head up and opened her beak and stretched her neck like she was having a hard time actually swallowing it. None of the others were drinking like this... And then I got really worried when i tipped her forward a little to put her back in the cage and all the water that she had drank came back out of her beak... She still keeps trying to drink though! Can chicks have some sort of esophageal deformity or something that would do this... Has anyone ever seen this or is it just something common that happens and she will get over it?
Help!
