He is barred rock 5 months old. We have been out of town for a few days but he was fine on Wednesday. He is separated from the flock in our shed on some orchard grass which is what we use for bedding. The other 40+ are doing fine. He is alert and still drinking but the only thing I have seen him eat is a few oats from my hand. He will drink from a pipette so I have given him some plain yogurt thinned with some pedialyte. I have also given him some nutradrench (sp?) and put some in his water. His poo is white and green so I am assuming he is not eating much at all. I have checked his crop and it is soft, I can feel no impaction. His eyes and nostrils are clear and he is not shaking his head or sneezing. I have some corid and duramycin on hand but there is not an avian vet in my area. Any help is greatly appreciated. This guy was my only survivor out of a shipping nightmare box of 26 doa. I'll do anything I can to save him.
 
I have tried some scrambled egg with oatmeal as well as the regular pellet food and some starter crumbles. I am taking some applesauce out now.
 
He is moving around and standing some. He ate a little applesauce, yolk and yogurt with some oatmeal on his own this morning.[
 
We are in Va. It's usually in the mid to upper 80's. The past week or so has been cooler than usual for this time of year & we have had some rain.
