Please help, chick and I aren't quitters

[Star Creek]

I have a weak / sick week old Golden Campine that I am trying to save. I found him in the brooder yesterday getting knocked around and with his head cocked to the side, after being really robust in the days leading up. He had pasty butt (a few of the chicks did earlier in the week too), which I cleaned (and lowered the brooder temp to 90 from 95) and I gave him a drop or so of Poultry Nutri-Drench and fed him liquids (mash dilute, lightly sugared water, egg yolk diluted) with a dropper every hour (or more if he woke up) through the night and this morning was able to mix up some electrolytes and he swallowed some of those. I also put a few drops of Apple Cider Vinegar in his mash dilute this morning. He has diarrhea with a tiny bit of solids, but he's only had liquids and a tiny bit of solids since yesterday. No bloody poop anywhere in the brooder and I have been cleaning the brooder four times a day. All other chicks are active, though I did lose two a few days ago, following the pasty butt episode.

Between feeding he sleeps curled up in my hand. I tried putting him in a box segregated in the brooder but he doesn't seem happy. I pick him up and he curls back up in my hand. I slept between feedings last night with him on my pillow curled up under my neck.

He peeps on occasion and can hold his body weight but can't balance at all and only "eats" when I put a drop of liquid on his beak tip. He opens his eyes when eating but otherwise they are closed.

Can you provide any guidance that might help me save him? If he's not quitting, neither am I.

what you should do is make him his own brooder. the other chicks might be hurting him. the diarrhea might be from the liquids you feed him. try scrambling him up and egg that will give him lots of protein

Thanks Karissa for your reply. He does have his own space in the brooder where he goes when I'm not holding him. Unfortunately he doesn't have any drive to eat, so scrambled eggs won't work. Though in that vein I have been feeding him drops of hard boiled yolk diluted with water & electrolytes, a gruel of sorts, which he swallows.
