Thanks I’ll update the thread with results. We’re planning on keeping the regiment going for the week and deciding after what to do next. Thanks for the insight!

Sad to report that after much fighting he has passed. He showed signs of improving, started eating and drinking on his own and even started trying to walk again, I was going to make him a harness this weekend to support him and rehab his legs but I found him dead this morning, not sure why or how but I guess he was too tired to fight it anymore. Thank you for your help and advice

So sorry for your loss... wonder what was up with him. How are your other chicks doing?

No issues at all, I’m leaning towards a neurological issue since none of my other chicks seem affected and he was totally fine before everything happened. I’m wondering if he maybe hit his head hard on something while jumping and flying around since he was pretty rambunctious before
