Once again I'm concerned about his eyes. I thought I may have been wrong since he's moving better, but after looking at his eyes this morning I'm not entirely sure.
The photo's above don't do the size of his eyes any justice. They're HUGE! I'll get a comparison pic this afternoon to him a one of his siblings, but they're larger then any eyes I've ever seen on a chicken.
I also noticed a pale white circle in his right eye I believe? Its not very visible and not a perfect circle either. I didn't get a good look at it because he kept closing his eyes when I picked him up, but I'll get a photo this afternoon.
As for his behavior, he seems to be moving around more daily, but his keel bone is very pronounced and I still haven't seen him eat. I thought his crop may have felt like there was some food in it, but I'm not sure. He has been drinking after I dip his beak which is a good sign, but he drinks a lot so I'm not sure if he's been drinking on his own.
When mom gets up and moved away, he follows, but walks slowly and almost horizontal, not upright like the others. He peeps loudly when mom leaves as well.
Im really concerned about this little guy, suggestions to get him to eat are welcome.
Pics-
If you can zoom in on this photo you can see the circle better. Tell me what you think. I have to leave this weekend, Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon, so I have another poultry friend coming to check on him. I’m reply concerned though. I love this little guy bunches.
