Ok so in my last thread i posted about Pipi chocking which maybe was something else.

Her conditions are getting concerning guys i donno what to do. I DON'T want her to die.
As you can see she does that mouth opening thing like she can't breath. Also she seems to have excessive saliva.
Even though she seems to be playful running jumping around and happily eats. (She dislikes chickfeed. Likes Scrambled egg, grass, plants, meat, rice, flour)
She drinks very less water i donno why It's hot around here (34°-35°C outside) she is one month old cornish cross. (I know It's a meat breed chicken but she was supposed to be my emotional support pet)

Here I'll post some other videos.
Please tell me what's wrong with her and what should i do.





Please help me. Thank you.
I donno what should i do.
 
Is it an only chick?

Being a meat bird it will not live very long as they usually are prone to heart failure and skeletal issues very early in their lives ( 5-10 weeks). So be prepared for this.

If you are feeding it anything else aside from chick starter make sure to aldo provide chick grit or rough sand to help with digestion.

She had a male chick partner but he was sick from the beginning so sadly he passed away. I Didn't bring another partner.

Okay I'll make sure about that.

I haven't seen anything concerning so far, but it needs one or better two companions to thrive.
What does the brooder look like? Can you provide some pictures for us?

Make water and feed available at all times if you have it outside the brooder often and for longer periods of time. Chicks this young mostly eat and drink all the time when awake.

You can add a bit of poultry vitamins to the water once or twice a week and prepare fresh water at least two times daily in warmer climates.

You chick needs calcium for bone strength, so try and mix the chick feed with the boiled and mashed egg to get it to eat at least some of it.

ETA: And give it a stuffed toy as companion to snuggle up to and get some rest. Your chick seems to be looking and calling out for company

So Is that mouths opening thing and excessive saliva harmless?

This was supposed to be her brooder you can see it's quite big. but she keeps loudly chirping and crying if i put her there.

So when i tried a smaller place like

This she was much more comfy and calm. That yellow thing is a Heating bottle ( i only use it when It's raining outside cause normally average temperature here is 35°C to 37°C witch is pretty hot already and she is 1 month) about water access this is a problem cause she has a awful tendency to drown herself.

(But since she is outside all day she has access most ofc the time. Also another note she Doesn't drink much water still her poop is very normal and healthy. I donno how [sometimes shows more water])

Also actually she Doesn't stay in there she just sleeps there at night. In the morning (and all day) she plays and runs around the house. i have food and water outside too she eats from there i have enough green plants she also pecks and eats leaves and stuff.

This 'brooder box' is way to small and does not allow for free air flow.
Consider something like a wire crate with chicken wire or hardware cloth around to prevent predators like rats, snakes etc. from getting in.

Your chick needs to have feed and a safe water source inside the brooder crate available at all times.
If you cant get a chick water dispenser where you live, put some clean pebbles in the shallow water dish so the chick will not drown in case it tumbles into the water.
