Frazzle chick? Any advice?

[fjjohnson4818]

I’m new to chickens but have become obsessed. I was given some lovely chicks one of which appears to be a frazzle. He is one of 4 who had a respiratory infection that one died from 3 weeks ago. He perked up, has gained weight but in the past couple of days his feathers have started falling out. Anyone have any suggestions for how I should care for him?

Welcome! We are glad you joined our flock!
Jump right in and make yourself at home.
I am sorry you have disease in your flock.
I am not sure they is anything more you can do than to offer him a higher protein feed.

How old is the bird now?
