Hello,
I have a 3 months old silkie that I think had not eaten or drank for a few days. Maybe 3, 6 or possibly 8 days. (I know it is unlikely for her to survive the later days.)

I have a chick that is being raised by a polish hen outside in her coop. I picked him up today and washed some poop off his stomach and his stomach seems to be lumpy and distended while his vent is swollen and red. He is active and happy as ever and eats and drinks his fill. (pics attached of...

So, I was holding my little silkie chick and then I noticed that her beak was curving to the side a bit... She is a little over 3 weeks old. Her bottom beak and top beak are aligned right so... What's going on? Sorry, not very good pictures.
