Hi,
I have a chick who has a bit of developmental delaly...
he (oh yeah, It's prollly a roo... of course... ) has a bump of something, hernia? on his belly, but his vent is fine...
the sac that was on the bump dried up , but the bump is there still.. .
he also has curled toes, but they are getting better... but, he 's still curling the middle toe and falls a lot, he is much delayed compared to the other chicks... they are running around and eating...
this guy is still not eating, so I had feed him syringe warm sloppy mash four times a day... then put the rest of the mash in with him, but he has yet to peck and eat any...
suggestions?
he's cute and very friendly now, and he pecks the syringe for another drop...
so he 'gets' eating now...
he's about 5 days old now... Black copper marans
