This is my first post on this site, but I really must ask before I book any appointment with the vet just yet. Is this crop normal for a one almost two week old chick? This is my first time breeding cockatiels and I’ve done my research extensively but I don’t think this looks right and perhaps I’ve missed something in my search for information.
the chick is most likely female and she’s often very sleepy and will sleep with her head down but she is also rather active sometimes as well? There is only one chick, which is her. I’m thinking she could have some kind of problem with her crop or being overfed? I let her be fed by her parents for most of the first week before they began pulling her pin feathers it seems (the black spots) so I had to take her to be hand fed instead. I don’t know if I’m doing anything wrong but the crop seems too big for her size? I’m not sure so I would appreciate any insight before setting up an appointment.
