First off, we just need some basic info:

where did he come from (hatchery)
What is he eating?
How is he acting?

Do you have medicated chick starter on hand?

 

[STEPHANIELAUREN]

he came from murray mcmurray hatchery

hes eating chick starter food mixed with gro-gel plus and i gave him some grapes earlier hes drinking plenty of water

he stays mainly in the corner by the heater by himself and every half hour or so his butt is caked with dried dhiarrea and i have to wipe itoff

I would not give him anymore grapes. How old is he? Chicks need grit to break their food down anything other than their mash feed which actually has grit mixed into it.
Is the chick feed medicated he is on?
Do you know if he was vaccinated before he was shipped to you?
