We have a five ish day old Naked Neck called Churkey, is very light almost as light as the bantam i have in the same cage.
The chick appears to be behaving as normal and has a slightly purple underbelly swollen vent hole, purple area around it and the vent is OUTSIDE of the body. i FEEL like its a prolapse but the area around the vent is hard and feels slightly warm
I bought the bird and noticed the vent swelling when we got Churkey home, but it has gotten slightly worse with the bird needing to be cleaned twice from stuck on poop The poop has been normal and no other birds appear to be exhibiting symptoms of any illness, there are a 10 other birds in the brooder, but she hasnt been hurt that i have seen
We have been giving filtered water, and medicated chick starter grower, and the birds are located in a clean brooder, with pine shavings and wood pellets
Depending on what's going on with the bird, if its contagious or painful, we will be looking at whatever options are best for the group, and most kind for the bird.
is this just the way their buts are? Do i need to do something?? am i just crazy and seeing issues where they arent?
