HELP! sick baby roo! *UPDATE!*

[vtsarahb]

Thank you for all of the advice! I put ACV in his water, he won't eat any yogurt, but he is still eating his starter. Maybe I'll try a little scrambled egg later on. For now I'm keeping him quiet and warm.

I am hoping he isn't really sick (besides being stressed)- I know that sometimes chickens can get over an illness but they remain a "carrier" for the rest of their lives. I do not want to risk getting my girls sick too.

I'll update again later- thanks again everybody!

update:

This morning he seemed to be feeling better, and more like himself... but around noon he was acting sick again- he has eaten some starter and a little scrambled egg. It seems to be touch-and-go at this point... I'm really hoping he pulls through

I've been following Glenda's advice (except for the aspirin) and yesterday morning little roo was looking a lot better- he still seemed fine when I got home from work, so I put him back out in the coop with his girls... and I'm happy to say that he is still doing well this morning. Hope he stays that way!

Thank you Glenda!
