My cockerel is slow, fumbles often, Today he fell on his back and couldn't get back up

That orange drink are electrolytes. It is the 0.75 oz Electrolyte and Antioxidant Supplement for Poultry - From Purina. Why? I am I giving him something I shouldn't?

It looks too orange, like there's too much in it. Is this it? This is supposed to be one pack per gallon.

Okay, thank you I appreciate it. for the vitamins do I give him once a day? Also, he doesn't want to eat the feed I usually give him. I have given him some pasta and tortillas. Is there some other food I could give him since he doesn't want the feed?

Yes, give the vitamins daily.

You can feed him Chick starter or an all flock feed.

Yeah, it is that one. Oh no, I did add too much. Will that be bad if I add too much? I just sprinkled some on the water.

They won't drink it if it's too strong. Sick birds are always dehydrated, so not drinking is going to make him sicker.

Well, when I introduced it to him he drank up. I am guessing he was supper thirsty if it was too strong. Thank you for the heads up, I'll reduce it, Thanks
