Silkie chick with a big round belly her poop gets all stuck on it bc she can’t clear it. Any suggestions

[LaFleche]

Yes soaked her yesterday and today. The belly button had a little crusty scab and it fell off today when I was soaking her. Her belly just looks very strange to me. She is eating and drinking. Today she started to waddle a little I think it’s bc of her belly

She might be suffering from omphalitis https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/mushy-chick-disease-yolk-sack-infection-omphalitis.64686/

Are your chicks in the brooder all the time or do they run outside on some grass too?

And what exactly do you feed them?

I feel them starter feed by Purina
No she has been in the brooder. With other little chicks and everyone else seems to be doing fine
