Problem Child Buff Orpington

[Robert Kazlauski]

i have a issue with a buff Orpington the rest of the flock which is a Rhode Island Red, barred rock, and a black sex link are perfect angels except the buff Orpington was a issue since the day I got her which was yesterday. She has what I think is a premature yolk which isn’t a big deal now except she has been chirping non stop while the rest of them are chillin and happy the temp is the best I can get it and everyone is eating and drinking and happy except the buff Orpington has been a big bully and non stop chirping. Yesterday I was putting my hand around her and she would sleep and stop chirping but today I try to do the same and she runs away from me and continues to chirp, she is also sleeping away from the flock is she in pain and thinks she’s gonna die? The yolk sac and is pretty small and Ive been cleaning and putting aquaphor on it. And I’ve seen people say wood chips is causing the issue but I’ve been watching them all day and they were kept in a wood shavings enclosure and she dosent eat any wood shavings I truly don’t think it’s the issue.

I had a similar problem. My two day-old chicks screamed for hours. It wasnt until I put them under a heat lamp registered at 95 degrees did they stop their loud noise. Your environment/brooder must already be at 95 degrees

This video but thank you she stopped chirping and is doing really good now and more tame I think she was uncomfortable with the aquaphor.

Glad she seems happier.

Thank you for the video link.

If left alone and/or if Iodine is applied the dried scab of yolk sac will fall off on its own. I'm not one to mess with trying to cut off scabs on a tiny chick like this. I've found often letting the body heal on its own timeline is best, but if you wish to give it a go then all good.
