I purchased July 5th 2022 (3 week old) Swedish Flower Rooster from Meyer Hatchery, I called today and reassured that this bird was vaccinated to rule out cocci, I am obsessively cleaning the cage (I don't naturally enjoy the smell, I am giving medicated starter feed officially today I don’t think I was prior as it can increase those chances of that disease. used vital pack for vitamins/electrolytes in water. I fed egg yolk, and plain yogurt with honey and have no changed behavior. He seems to be fatigued, not "lethargic" he's arousable, eating and drinking. I noticed he seems to loose balance or appear dizzy at times. His feathers are fine and neck hasn't drooped or noticed any turning. I best case scenario am over reacting.
I have vet rx and a few probiotic packets/revive packets I bought today from rural king. Since Sunday and today is now Tuesday this chick has seemed a bit withdrawn. It seemed to start with a field trip outside in the shade with fans running, It was a hotter day in central PA high 80's yet in shade with fans (no light on). I brought them back inside my house and have the heated lamp on. It went out for a period of time but was quickly able to steal a light from the one mounted in the rabbit pen.
I hope he has long legs for the dizzy spells, it’s his temperament or all the normal things. I realize it’s only been a few days but any pointers or thoughts would be appreciated, please advise ?
I have videos but this doesn’t seem to allow me
