PLEASE help!!

My chick that is only two days old seems like he has something stuck in his throat!

His crop seems awful puffed out and he kinda stands with his head back and his beak comes open off and on. I tried to see if i could see anything but can't really hold it open long enough to see, but it looks like he has like liquidy stuff in his mouth too!! He shook his head a couple of times too!!!

Please help me!!

How is it doing? What are you using for bedding? Could it be eating wood shavings? Have you checked the threads on the FAQ page about sour/impacted crop for treatments? Have you fed them anything but chick feed?

The puffiness has gone down quite a bit since last night. No shavings using puppy pads, and I have been giving my chicks some organic chick starter. Yes I have been checking the threads with this topic and have found some info. He walked some and lifted his little leg to scratch himself. I don't know what I can do tho if anything.
