Hopefully he is just a little weak and is flipping over when he tries to stand.

Have you been dipping his beak into some warm water to encourage him to drink? If you have nutri-drench I'd add a little of that to the water.
Yes i have been giving him nutridrench and vitamin mix 2 or 3 drops because he doesnt want to drink
