Hey guys so last week my dad Bought me 4 bantams two are golden sebrights and the other two are some kind of bantam not exactly sure, but anyways I was away most of Saturday and all day yesterday, they seemed fine last night but this morning when I checked on them one of the roosters wasn't as active as he usually is. He's shivering his eyes are closed he's not eating or drinking anything and he isn't responding to anything he seems to be getting weaker.
Thinks for any help and suggestions
GOD BLESS ALL AND TAKE CARE
 
Do you have some chick vitamins such as SaveAChick that you can put into water, or Poultry NutriDrench that you can give orally a few drops at a time? Dip it’s beak into the water for a second and let it swallow. Repeat several times and do this often today. Check it’s bottom for pasty butt and clean off with soapy warm water if needed. Chicks who are shipped to feed stores may show signs of shipping stress up to a week or 10 days. Bantams are a little more delicate as well. By the time they show weakness, it might be too late, but I really hope that you can help the chick.
 
Well My dad bought them from a guy who breeds raises and sales Bantams breeds.
But anyways... I finally got him to drink his water a little bit. I put some sugar it, he was moving around and clucking a little bit so he seems to be doing a little bit better still weak but better.
The others seem to be fine.
 
Do you have the under a heat lamp or a warmer? He may be a little cold. Keep dipping his beak all day long. Try mixing a small cup of chick feed mixed with a lot of water, and offer it to him.
 
No I don't have any heat on him they are about a year to 6 months old. He has been crowing the last few hours and he seems to be doing a lot better now.

I will continue to make sure he drunks enough water.
Thanks for the help guys greatly appreciate it!!!!

GOD BLESS ALL AND TAKE CARE!
