One of my chicks is acting funny...HELP!

[mamaluv321]

It's not eating much and just kinda stands there beak open a little and the inside of her beak looks...sticky? She's about 5 weeks old now and I'm not sure what it is...help!

Ok so I keep going in and checking on her, she doesn't seem to be drinking and has mucus in her beak! Why?

Sounds like an upper respiratory infection Perhaps someone can recommend meds for her baby?

You should put this in the emergency section. It does sound respiratory. Can you hear any sounds when she breaths? I myself haven't dealt with this, maybe some else has suggestions hopefully. Good luck and keep us updated.

She also has a very hard crop, seems like she's having trouble bending her head down to get the water, impacted crop? What in the heck do I do about that??
