I have a 4 week old silkie mix chick who has been “off” since I got him. His (her?) butt feathers have become crusted with white poop, and he smells awful. I gave him a bath yesterday and noticed his vent seems to be swollen and halfway prolapsed? It has a “lip” that looks flipped out. It doesn’t look like other prolapsed vent pictures on Google, though. After the little guys bath, I noticed another chick in the brooder had pooped blood so I ran out and began treating with Corid last night. The little chick has been eating and drinking but strains hard to poop (barely anything comes out) and chirps out like he’s in terrible pain. After 24hr on Corid he still has the white leaky poop and swollen vent. What else can I do to help the poor little thing??
