Help! Chick with rye neck!

At my brother's suggestion I put dry food with him and he is pecking at it!

 

[Caleb1534]

I assume only a few drops of Poultry Nutri-drench(I'm using about a one cup glass bowl,)for his water?

 

[azygous]

Yes. The water should look like weak tea.

This little guy is making excellent progress. Good job!

It's important to keep up with the vitamin E even after he appears fully recovered so that you're sure that he won't relapse.

 

[Caleb1534]

Thank you!

I assume it will be fine to fill the syringe part way with the oil-egg mixture and the rest of the way with the sugar water Nutri-drench mixture?

Oh my reminds me of many days of tube feeding new born puppies, every 2-3 hrs. around the clock. Really hard to concentrate when you have the "blind staggers," from being sleep deprived.

Listen to your instincts now. You are getting to know this chick and what he needs from you. Go with it.

 

[Caleb1534]

Thank you!
UPDATE: We just gave him his third syringe and he took it like a champ.
I think I will give him a small bowl of water for the night.
