sick silkie! help!!!

[gillhollowfarm]

Hi everyone,
My one silkie chick has been acting sort of funny today.. It has been pecking around and eating some, but not as much as the other chicks and has also been acting very tired ( It will just stand there and "sleep" while the others are active and moving around) When I went to pick it up earlier, I felt its craw and it seemed very squishy.. It has also has all white/clear diarrhea as well. Yesterday I moved them (all 14) to their new coop & put sawdust inside of it instead of hay like I used before. Is it possible that any of this could be the problem? Help please???

I am pretty new to chickens but maybe someone else will jump in if i bump this up.

You may want to consider isolating the sick silkie. Do you mean the crop feels squishy? Could it be sour crop?

I think the sawdust may pose more of a respiratory issue due to the dust - you are probably better off with pine shavings instead.
