This one might be abandoned, but anyway. He was very cold when I found him and did not flock call. The adopted mother didn't seem to care that he was gone.
He is perhaps three weeks old. There was some drama about his mother that I shared in another post, he's been doing fine otherwise. His bones are protruding from his abdomen, so he seems malnourished. Lightweight, I can't give his exact weight at the moment. Beak is purple tinted. Throat is clear, nose holes (why can I never remember the word for bird nose?) is clear. Otherwise seems fine, but tired and hungry. Probably not going to make it judging by the look in his eyes but I'll give it a go.
So! Tips, tricks, handy sticks? I plan on syringe feeding him as usual, but I've never cared for peachicks before so advice is appreciated! So electrolytes is probably a good idea, hard boiled egg and starter feed, perhaps some mashed potatoes? Bugs? They really need attention from their caregivers I've read so it stays with me 100% percent of the time right? What're you're thoughts?
