It has been about 10 days and no improvement in her condition. But I learnt a lot from here and other forums and I can say she has a swollen abdomen. I am sure of that because I checked the other 3 chicks and this one's belly is significantly round and ball shaped and swollen. I believed it is egg bound and got epsom salt and calsium pills, tried twice and it didn't work. I checked the vent but not sure if I did it correctly. Should I look for an egg straight back, up or down when I insert my finger? I believe it should be somewhere 1-2 inches to the vent? What might be if it is not an eggbound? Thank you so much for the responses.
