My little Minion who is suffering from a turned in foot and spraddle legs and is now wearing corrective shoes and leg braces, is unable to feed or water himself. He is only 3 days old this morning. He has worn the shoes since the night of Jan 12th. He does seem to be getting better but I will have to be feeding him and watering him by hand until then. His story here... https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/new-silkie-toes-turned-in-fixing-minions-feet.1216268/ I just need a guide as to the amount he needs to take in and how often. I am feeding a gruel in an oral baby medicine dropper that holds one CC of liquid. The gruel is a mix of his chick starter and water with the electrolytes and probiotics in it. He is learning to hold himself upright when I hold his feet down which is something he could not do on the first day I put his shoes on and we are practicing walking by me moving his feet in walking motions and he keeps his balance while I do it. He just cant do it on his own yet but he is getting stronger.
