Sic chick

[Cinderella31805]

10-14 dayRoad Island She is not growing or as active as the rest of the group, off balance and is over all weaker. Want to sleep all the time standing up with wings hanging, but freeks out when she is separated from the flock. She needs encouragement to eat and drink but will attempt to do both on her own after syringe feeding her. Poop is very sticky but no blood noted. She has been this way since day 1 and I have Had her 7 days
after a full inspection of her I noticed that her umbilical site is hard about the size In between a pea and dime, skin is blackish in color (none of my other chics have this

is this an umbilical infection?
if so what can be done for her?

That could be her problem. If it is an infected umbilicus, internal as it seems to be, I'm not sure there is any help for her. Infection is likely reducing the number of days that she will be able to stay alive since it's probably systemic.

I hope others will have something you can try and give you more hope than I have.

Can you post some photos of how she's standing, her poop and her abdomen?
