I need some help as to what could be wrong or what other steps to take.
Inspection yesterday was all fine. Today, one juvenile looks lethargic/tired, moving slowly, puffed up, hardly eating, and shaking his head regularly.
Currently in hospital set up with mash and vitamins added to water. Observed drinking, has not eaten.
Housing is a small wooden coop with run access, roost bar and dust extracted shavings. Run substrate is dirt.
Crop completely empty, colour seems good, mouth/nostrils clear, breathing sounds clear, eyes clear, thoroughly inspected for lice/mite and all clear. Only pooped once since moving to hospital box, and that also looked normal. Will attempt to include a video.
Forgot to add, no new arrivals and and was hatched by myself.
Other birds currently all look happy and healthy
