Located in Washington State. Have had chickens for 1 year now and have a sick Rooster. Looking for any input. He may have cocsidiosis, have been treating for 3 days now and today he is symptomatic of a respiratory illness. Have been giving him Tetracycline via an eye dropper throughout the day today. He hasn't been well for about 1 week now. Have decided to treat the entire flock (13 total) to prevent an outbreak of cocsidiosis. Terribly worried. My "Big Bad Rooster" has dwindled down to one who is ill and sickly looking. He is now being picked on by my Polish Rooster. Feeling like a terrible chicken owner. :(
