Thanks for the concern all. With prayer and separating him, plus special dropper stuff, he is doing much better. As another poster said a few months back a predator may get him soon so I guess I should just be thankful for the time I got to have him. I do apoligize I have not had time to be on...

Union Town Poultry, I thank you for answering, And I just have not had time to get on here and see if anyone answered because we caught him that day and he has done well. I think I am finding out that getting counsel from people not walking in your shoes is not always helpful but really sad...
