Can u tell me if I can put vitamin E oil in his water?

 

[TwoCrows]

Yes. Just squeeze in a capsule into a quart waterer. See if you can get some poultry vitamins tomorrow. Make sure he is eating and drinking and keep him quiet.

 

[chick321]

Alright thanks so much!

 

[chick321]

Another question is it normal for him to sleep a lot?

 

[TwoCrows]

What ever this chick has suffered from, is probably taxing this birds energy. Have you posted this in our emergency section yet? You might get more help from more people there. I am really not sure. So sorry.

 

[chick321]

Yes I have posted it there, I'm getting some answered thanks a lot

He may be a bit shocky from whatever trauma damaged his leg. You may want to explore his body for any bites, or wounds under his feathers, when he is feeling better. For now keep him warm, and quiet. Please let us know how he is doing.

I don't see or feel any wounds on his body I'm at loss for what to do I'm getting him vitamins today to see if that helps
