First let me say, I am totally new at this! I just picked up three silkie chicks yesterday. They are all around a week old and two of them are looking fantastic! The smallest of the three doesn't seem to be doing well though. I noticed a lot of head shaking/head twitching yesterday and today I've noticed the chick has started yawning/mouth breathing. It's nose was crusted shut on one side and icky on the other. I'm also noticing a crackling sound coming from its nose when it inhales. Any advice would be great!!!!
 
i would DEFINITELY separate it from the others. i'd also buy them some medicated feed by manna pro to use for the next week or so. these first few weeks can be fatal. proper care is vital. i would go to your local feed store and buy some probiotics and electrolytes and put them in their water if i were you
