I have a 2 month old Rockette chick who was very lethargic today and I placed her near her water and food and she drank for a very long time then when I checked on her a few minutes later she was laying on her side at the other end of the coop. She got up and was a little wobbly but then went back to eating and drinking. She’s not roosting with her 10 sisters and is instead sleeping on the ground in a corner. Her crop feels like a water balloon which doesn’t surprise me since she just keeps drinking water and occasionally a little food. She doesn’t smell like most people mention with sour crop. Any idea what’s going on and what I should do about it? This doesn’t strike me as something that requires quarantine but I’ll defer to you all on this. Not sure it matters but:
A) they haven’t been outside yet
B) she was much smaller than her siblings and took longer to develop her feathers.
C) I put a large branch from an ash tree in the coop a few days ago after I pulled all the berries off so that they could have a little jungle gym.
Thanks for your time and assistance.
