I dipped his beak in some sugar water. He took one drink then wouldn't open his beak. I had some feed mixed in water very thin. Put it on a spoom and dipped his beak in. He wouldnt eat. I syringed 2 ml of nutri drench. Idk what else to do. Hes just acting the same. No worse, no better.Hard to tell about the nostril, he has such a heavy prominent comb.
Can you hold a cup of water up to his beak and see if he will drink for you. You can give him a little sugar water (1tsp to 1cup water) or electrolytes if you have them.
Once drinking, then see if he will eat something for you. Wet or dry feed, bits of scrambled egg, etc.
The poop could be due to not eating and some dehydration. It does look like it has mucous(?), but see if it improves if you can get him to eat.
Does he seem like his wattles are hurting?
He lets me touch his wattles without issue so i dont think they hurt.
His crop is still empty.
