Good luck! You've come so far with the little guy. it would really suck if something happens to him now!

Grr. :\ He's so confusing. I walked out a few minutes ago and he was on his back. I flipped him over and he stared running around.

I put him back in his own box because Thor started stepping on him again. I think I have him at a good temperature. He has finally started peeping. I looked up my problem here on BYC and everything I've found says "warm him up and give him electrolytes" -_- Okay, done that. I guess I just have to wait and see what he does.

I can look up all of his symptoms in my chicken health handbook. It's got ALL of the common and rare diseases that affect chicks and chickens.
If you tell me all of what he's been doing, I'd be glad to research it more for you.

I would certainly appreciate you trying. This morning, as I described he was stone cold and barely breathing. Now, I have him under a heat lamp with food and water, he's warmed up. He can walk, but runs out of energy within about 20 seconds. He lays in a corner and sleeps. When he's awake he's always peeping. (I think because he's away from Thor) That's pretty much it.

 

[LaynaDon95]

Thank you very much.

Does he walk in circles before falling down? When he is on his back, do his wings flap?

This book is so detailed an I don't want to give you anything that doesn't fit all the symptoms.

How are his poops?

I hope he's ok!!!... You've been through so much with the little guy... Hopefully he just needs to warm up and take some time to relax a little... Please keep us updated I know that I'm pretty attached to Loki already and he's not even my chick!

So the book and the few symptoms I keep seeing, keep bringing me back to infectious bursal disease and epidemic tremors ---> keep in mind the book only tells you the main symptoms, at what age it's prevalent and what the disease effects.

I'm not at my cOmputrt ATM, so if you google them maybe it'll lead you closer to an answer....

(I'm by no means an avian specialist, I just have a book...lol)

no, no
He poops fine. Though I did find a bit that was think and dark, almost like tar or meconium... I thought that was odd.
