Was told it was a wyandotte but the comb tells me otherwise. EE maybe? Also told she was a female. What do y'all think? :hmm

I cannot thank you enough for this generous and thorough reply. :) I do use kaytee baby bird formula, and mix apple sauce in occasionally to speed digestion if crop drainage is slow, as well as unflavored Pedialyte. Crop slowdown seems to have ceased and he is digesting as normal. He is under a...

@ColtHandorf @Old_Strain_Lover @Liz Birdlover @Qwerty3159 Do you have any suggestions or know any one who could help? The other chick, whom remains, is much more feathered and lively. Crop has been slow to drain so I've been feeding infant apple sauce until empty, and treating with Nystatin...

Unfortunately...the chick has passed. I arrived home to it. I still have another chick remaining I do not wish to meet the same fate. Should I finish off the prescribed medication with this chick? They appear fairly well but droppings are yellowish and pasty and crop is not emptying as it should.

Also the four in one is set to arrive on the 12th of this month, so I will need to start around then,

I considered that but I was worried that maybe for their age it could be problematic. The dosing instructions is for adult birds. Though it varies, because the package has a picture of a rooster, a finch, and a pigeon on it, so I wonder if it makes any difference?

Does anyone else have any input? I don't really know what to do from here.

Update chirping was audible this time but in the form of a very wet whistling sound. Crop did not fully empty of food matter, was quite doughy, so instead of feeding this morning, I gave papaya juice (supposed substitute for baby apple sauce) gently massaged crop, then gave vet meds.

Also no bad odor and the inside of the beak appears non obstructed.

I administered about 0.2 1/2 of nutridrench (see picture of syringe) directly to the smallest chick, I am now worried it may have been too much? Is it possible to overdose on nutridrench? I followed with VERY watered down formula with a tiny amount of unflavored Pedialyte added.

I stated earlier that they both have avian pox as well, (courtesy of their previous flock)

The two squabs side by side.

I would hate to lose this squab, I got them as a pair about a week after hatching from a small flock raiser. despite the little ones smaller size and weakness, the eldest still preens them and appears to be attached, which was unexpected to say the least. The eldest is well off and has a...

Crop has been somewhat emptying since starting the candida meds from vet (see original post) Seeds and such of course take longer, voice still gone, can stand but legs are incredibly stiff. Struggles to take steps without falling forwards.

I will be out of work around 10pm tonight and will redose with the vet meds at around 11. (Twice daily). I don't see improvement nor any decline, (up and down) so I just don't really know what else to do here. No new feather growth from what I've seen. Could growth be permanently stunted by...

Heres a pic of the chick today, before I go into work, (2:30pm in FL) both were fed at around 11am. They are blinking in the shot and look angry haha. Anyone see any possible issues from a peek?

Still fatigued. They can hobble about their cage but seem to struggle to fully stand. Wondering if it's weakness or a paralysis. Eyes are bright despite it all.

The four in one wouldn't arrive until the 12th of this month anyhow.

Shoot, I feel like I'm running out of options here. I recently tried mixing some salt/sugar mixture with their meal this morning after medication, they seem dehydrated so I offered it a bit more watery than usual.

I'd say temp is usually 85 or so give or take. Heating is with an overhead heat lamp or a below heating pad. they have room to move to or away from the heat source, but it's never below 79
