Thanks!

Well he’s doing better!Getting a little wobbly so I’m going to put him in the pot for a while.

Oh good! Hopefully he makes a full recovery for you

Taking a turn for worse.Already gave sugar water and going to try egg yolk.

I heard you can give them electrolytes.Could I use human electrolytes?

Did you ever get the Nutri-Drench? Save-a-chick would be the electrolytes that you're looking for. Those are a couple of good things to have on hand in your poultry first aid kit.

Well, I got him to eat some egg. I mixed in the contents of a capsule of beef organs. My mom read that that can help with a vitamin B deficiency, which could be the cause of his problems.

I think it's genetic or a hatching deformity, but I could be wrong.

Hopefully he’ll get better!

Well now he’s holding his wing weird,won’t open his eyes,and is very lethargic.I think it is neurological because one of his siblings has curly toe and they act completely different.I did get him to eat more egg but I don’t think he’s going to make it through the night.My sister also accidentally dropped the flower pot on him but he landed completely under it.I will update it the morning.Thanks for all the help!!

It may be easier to cull now, as hard as it is to do. Less suffering.
