Hello

1. Brought 2 hand fed chicks (owner told me they were around 6 weeks old).
2. Chick 1 used to cry for food and I used to feed baby food using spoon. While chick 2 never used to cry, so I used to feed using syringe.
3. This went well for a week.
4. I noticed 2 days back night that chick 2 vomited a bit after feeding via syringe. Next day morning also vomited a bit after feeding. I thought maybe it was not hungry or did not like the taste as the vomit happened immediately after feeding.
5. Today I noticed that after feeding, it vomited 1 hour after the feeding.

There is no sour smell from beak, crop is also empty. but noticed that the chick moves his tongue and throat in a certain way and also the dropping had the liquid part which appeared a bit "yellower" to me (maybe its normal). Attached are the pics and video. The chick otherwise looks ok and even flapping the wings etc and tried short flights as well.





please guide as we don't have any birds doctor here. Pics attached below:

Feeding chicks with a syringe is dangerous unless youre an expert. Please use a spoon. I would bring the sick chick to an avian vet.
