Worried about baby chick :/

[ChickenNewbie32]

Also isnt it a bit young for its mother to leave it?

 

[ChickenNewbie32]

She also does that, she huddles up is that normal?

 

[ChickenNewbie32]

Anyone?

If she is huddling, she may be a bit cool. How old is she?
How is the lump on her beak - any better? What treatment(s) have you tried?
What does her poop look like?

Keep her warm, make sure she is drinking plenty of water and eating her chick starter. If she still huddles after being warmed up, then you may want to treat her Cocci. You can find Corid at your local feed store.

She is acting pretty normal, she is around 3-4 weeks.

I have given her shell grit and just normal feed, i've also given her greens such as lettuce, i clean her water atleast 2 times a day. Her poop looks pretty normal, not sure though.

She is huddling up and closing her eyes, please tell me thats normal.

Are you providing her with a little supplemental heat?
Can you post some photos of how you are keeping her?
The lump on her beak and inside her beak - has it increased in size, stayed the same or reduced in size - how have you been treating the lump?

You mention "shell grit" - is this oyster shell or granite poultry grit? If it is oyster shell then switch and give her granite poultry grit.

Huddling could be an indication of Cocci, you can find Corid at your local feed store.

I keep her in the living room because its so hot and the air conditioner is on in the living room today i let her run around the house so i can see how shes acting, she pooped and this is what it looks like:

I haven't treated her bump other then giving her fresh water daily with normal feed and shell grit. The bump is still the same size. I also heard that if you put nail polish on the bump it would help it, is that correct?
