Last night he slept a little too close to edge of the pen and a fox pulled him out. At least he got to be a good meal for someone since we didn't want to eat a sick bird. Thanks for the concern everybody.

Does he have...
He's been like this for almost a week. When he does walk he's really wobbly and flaps his wings a lot. He is eating and drinking and I've been putting a little Tetracycline in his water but I haven't noticed any changes. Should I wait to see if he gets better or go ahead and put him down?
I have two Cornish Hens and two little turkeys in a small pen together in my house. One of the Cornish hens has started peeping a lot and when we picked it up this morning it didn't try to run or flap it's wings like it normally does. The other birds seem fine.
