rooster attacked chick

[fanynany]

goodmorning, here he is sunbathing after a little poopy butt rinse, he uses his legs more but is still unable to stand by himself and can’t balance but hopefully soon he’ll be able to because he sure does want to, pretty sure he’s tired of seeing my face and my room all the time :’)

his face looks better
he’s also starting to bend his neck the other way little by little!

Sorry my power and computer have been out for 4 days. Glad that your cockerel is doing well. A package of puppy pads is good to use for bedding over pine shavings or other bedding. Paper towel works too. You can make non toxic wet wipes with plain water and a tiny bit of soapy water. Cooked rice or a little cottage cheese in moderation can help firm up watery poops. Vitamin E 400 IU and a little B complex for thiamine can help with wry neck symptoms.

i found him on his back twitching and gas, the bleeding stopped but he’s still weak, he tries to stand, he lifts his head but stops i don’t know what to do, he opens his eyes for a bit then shuts them, we gave him some water and he drank it, i’m all over the place i’m sorry i just don’t want him to die, i’m in texas and my power is going out every 20 minutes so i have little time

Oh, no! So sorry about your baby and the electricity. Used to live in Texas and friends say it's the worst right now.

don’t mean to spam but just wanted to show you him , he scratched himself using the leg that he couldn’t move!! it was all of a sudden, he tried to scratch his injury but i covered his face before he could, his color from his face seems to be coming back as well!

His eyes look bright!

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?

Paper towels, which are scarce due to a pandemic shortage. Or rags you can bury in the yard when it's soiled. I use old flannels as rags.

We’re hoping the ice melts today so we could atleast pick up a couple groceries and i could get his vitamins and terry towels along with paper towels and some wipes

i currently have on my list:

1. terry towels & paper towels
2. vitamin b & e
3. maybe wipes if i find some plain water based ones mainly for his feathers
4. puppy pads
