Yesterday I picked up some 3 day old chicks at the local feed store. Once I got home I realized one still had her yolk sac attached and is much smaller than the others. I kept her separated, gave her nutri-drech, heated with a heating pad and in a cozy soft blanket. I kept the yolk sac as moist as I could yesterday. Yesterday she was chirping no problem but wouldn't eat just drink.
Today when she woke up she would chirp and no sound would come out. She drank quite a bit but still no sound. Its not heat and its not mouth breathing. I can hear a faint sound if I put her to my ear.
I went to change her blanket just now and she stumbled a bit and her sac broke. Yolk started leaking out, she started trying to eat it. I got her calm again and she is sleeping in her blanket.
Not sure what I need to do to give her the best chance at life? Any suggestions are appreciated!
