A chicken friend of mine has a young house rooster who suddenly became lethargic and his comb turned black at the ends. She’s isolated him for now and he’s had some very wet, green poops. Any idea what could be wrong with him?
The comb is shiny because it has Vaseline on it. No sign of injury. He is low ranking in his pecking order so he does get picked on a little.
Two poops like this so far. He hasn’t been eating any greens lately.
He’s lethargic but he’s still moving normally, still drinking (she gave him electrolytes), he was eating earlier before symptoms started but not now although it’s late and he could just be tired.
Our main concerns are that it could be Marek’s, Newcastle disease, or avian influenza so he’s been quarantined to another room in the house and she’s washing and changing between seeing him and the other birds.
