Keep him warm, dry and as stress free as possible. Feed or offer a commercial chick starter. You can mix it with warm water to make a gruel or paste for him to eat. He would need to be physically examined by a veterinarian experienced in treating domestic fowl to diagnose illness or injury. Antibiotics are typically by prescription only and must be dispensed by a doctor. Without more information or a firm diagnosis, it would be difficult (and dangerous). To recommend any medications.
