Sick Chukar Chick, Please Help!

Forgot to mention that I will mix their crumbles with the medicated water, mine love that!

Good idea!

It is where all of the hens get new feathers for winter and it is like a month or so off of laying eggs

Anyway, my little one is doing great. He drank a good amount of his medicine and ate some food.

I just thought I would give an update on my little guy. He's doing great thanks to the amprol! I have six other chicks (chickens, not chukars), do you think I should medicate them too? They haven't shown any sign of illness, but it wouldn't hurt, right?

How is he now?

He's great! He's running around a lot and cheeping again. Although, I've caught him running backwards and shaking his head some. Should I be concerned? Other than that, he's perfectly normal.

Glad to hear that he's better... But I know nothing about Chukars so I am not qualified to comment on what's normal in them or not.

I kept an eye on him for several hours straight today, and he seems to have stopped walking backwards. Weird little guy.
