Hello,
I have 3 Aracauna chicks that are 3 weeks old. 2 of them are much bigger than the other, but all were born and purchased on the same day. We had them sharing a brooder with some White Leghorns that are 5 weeks old. Yesterday I moved the white leghorns into a different brooder. I thought maybe the little Aracauna might have better access to the food and water with only 2 other chicks in the brooder. Later in the day, the chicken was laying on its left side and could not walk. There was also some very bright fluorescent Green watery poop in the new shavings. I separated that chicken and cleaned out the other brooder again.
This morning my wife said the chick was doing much better and was walking around. But only an hour or so later it is again laying on its left side and there is all kinds of the flourescent green poop.
What is wrong with my chick?
