This is Spiritualmystic631, I had to re-register, because for some reason the password wouldn't let me in no matter how many times I tried.
Anyway,
My Dilemma:
I went against my better judgement and brought home a Barred Rock Baby from the feed store, may be about two weeks old, because the others were literally pecking his butt to death. He was bleeding and the feed store owner, when asked about it, said; I don't know! So I said, I'll take him home and away from the other chicks if thats alright with you. (There were too many chicks in that cage. Maybe 50 chicks in a 2 foot x 2 foot pen). I started cleaning his butt off and he seemed to be doing a lot better yesterday and this morning. But he still has diahrhea (white) and his wings look funny, but I think its because those were also pecked at by the other chicks. Tonight I noticed he is still sorta just sitting in the brooder, not very active, he is eating and drinking sporatically. What I'm worried about is that I read in one of my books that Pullorum disease causes White Diahrhea? So now I'm worried! For one thing, the feed store guy is selling all those chicks that have been exposed to this chick if he does have it. The pen they had him in was right by the sliding door that stays up and it was very cool outside the day I got him. Any advice, suggestions, or other things that could be wrong with him would be greatly appreciated. Is Pullorum the only disease that causes White Diahrhea? Sorry this is so long. I don't mean to ramble.
