rooster attacked chick

[LaFleche]

anyone have any suggestions on dealing with poo? ive gone through 7 old t shirts and since i can’t wash them i have to use more old shirts, ive had to rinse him multiple times due to his runny poop but we are low on our water supply and the pipes bursting and him not being able to stand makes it worse, wooooowee it was stinky, he’s stinky too, anyone have any ideas? foods to improve his stool? i tried imagining a chicken diaper but i just couldn’t come up with anything so any suggestions?

You could put some paper towel over the t-shirts or terry towels and change them more often, so his wounds will stay clean.

As soon as he is able to hold his head, you could put him in a sling seat. Here are a few models to choose from:

oh wow so many to choose from! and will do, i change it everytime he poops since the towel will reek even after cleaning it, i’ll have to wait to get paper towels until the stores open but i’ll use toilet paper.

my power is back on, it goes out every 20 minutes, i’m trying to keep him as warm as possible, i don’t have electrolytes, the streets are covered in snow and the stores are closed, i’m in front of a heater holding him

This might sound a little funny, but my wife did it, when one of our chicks needed heating and our power was out. (we have a coal furnace now, so no problems like this anymore.. lol) If the chick is small enough, and you're not afraid of getting too close, Get a long towel and tie it around your waist (loosely) leave a small area against your bare skin and plop the little one in there. the human body is just about the right temperature for a new chick. think of it as a life-saving fanny pack.. lol
(Edit) Nevermind.. I can now see that isn't a small chick.. lol

What are foods help harden up their poo? the feed i have right now contains a lot of protein and i’m not able to go out right now and get more feed, also is there anything i could do to get him relax? he wants to walk and he starts flapping his wings and that causes him to flip over and he hurts himself, he also really wants to scratch himself but can’t reach with his neck, then i scratch them myself but then he wants to do it himself ah when he suddenly gets the strength to move his leg he scratches his injury, he’s tired of not being able to do things all day and freaks out because he’s not able to walk

he ate a lot today yay!

not excited for the poops :’)
