Long story short, we had chickens get out of the coop and my husband was putting them up and wasn’t meaning to actually hit the chicken but swatted a very skinny stick like a switch at it and it popped it on his butt. he said it did several flips, and it laid down as if it was dead. He immediately hollered for me to come check on him. And he did have some saliva coming out of his beak, and I thought he was actively dying but when I moved away to go get water for him, he stood up, but was walking very wobbly and still holding his head down.
We have separated him in our brooder box. And have a stand up brooder heater. I have mixed up sugar and red sell water, but I’m out of electrolytes and probiotics. He was drinking initially a little bit, but now none at all, and just wants to lay down. But is arousable when we touch him.
Do y’all have any ideas on what I can do to help him he is absolutely precious and it was definitely an accident. I have never seen this before.
