I'm so so sorry! when did he start displaying symptoms? how is his stool? the first thing that comes to my mind might be coccidosis. you can treat cocci with corid its amprol. but in order to treat you mix it in his water. but it sounds like he's not drinking. you could try to give the corid and water in a dropper if its coccidosis were talking about.please look up coccidosis and see if symptoms match keeping in mind with cocci bloody poo isn't always present! lethargy and extreme sleepiness eyes closed ruffled feathers head down all are symptoms. look up coccidosis and see what you think.i really wish i could be of more help! try the corid with water and eyedropper see if it helps.if you agree that symptoms match cocci. in the mean time try to
.keep him hydrated. and warm. maybe give some electrolyte or save a chick in water and give with dropper carefully. sometimes we can try our best but if they are really weak we can do no more..my thoughts and prayers with you! here is a hug (()). good luck!

Thank you, unfortunately she passed away a short time ago. I dug her, her grave and put up a cross and flowers. Still have 3 silkies left that will have expert care.
