Bourbon Red Poult Quit Eating & Drinking

[jkschicksters]

Hello, I have a Bourbon Red poult that had quit eating and drinking. I have been feeding him with a syringe for a couple of days now and he looks a lot better, is definitely stronger and more active and he has started drinking water again, but I have not noticed him eating on his own. The others that hatched with him are probably double his size now. Does anyone have any advice for me? Thank you

Try live food, e.g., meal worms/moths with a wing torn off (easier to grab). If it'll eat the meal worms, dampen a few and place on Starter crumbles (kinda like rolling `em in `flour').

Oh...live food...never thought of that. Thank you
