I went downstairs to clean the brooder box earlier. Carrot, who had been fine yesterday, was poofed up. Poofing is the number one sug of a chicken not feeling well. Carrot has a lot of…something filling his abdomen. I’m not sure what is going on. I separated Carrot and Sable out. (I don’t believe in isolating a sick being.) I mixed sugar in the water and there is more oatmeal than feed in their bowl. Whatever road the little one takes, I hope it’s quick and painless.
