Chick backing up after drinking.

[ChaosMom]

Good lord! My phone must be hungry.
I meant chick feed mash!

I have edited it so future readers aren’t confused. What a weird correction!

My next question would have been the ratio of b-complex to mashed potato.

- and I was getting ready to go back over the past 5 pages, looking for references to mashed potato in baby chicks' diets!

I am. Read the same thing you did! She did show up like this, so while the medicated feed didn't cause it, it's possible it's not helping matters. I purchased some of the Silkie food I mentioned above and am thinking of switching. I don't know. We're a bit all over the place.

I would suggest stopping the medicated feed, and give the Rooster booster for awhile. Medicated feed does reduce their ability to absorb nutrients.

Done and done!
We've got Corid on hand if we ever have an issue, but they live in a pretty clean and dry environment (I'm a chronic pooper-picker-upper).

Vet appointment tomorrow for Willow. I'll update the thread if I learn anything interesting.
