Dang it It might be that he was pooping a little as I showered him so I took a break and he looks bony ish, I am not sure how a showered chicken is supposed to look but I Can straight up see his like rib bone like the one in their bottom stomach that long one that goes from the butt to chest

Make sure he is eating, but in my experience, they look kinda bony and sad.

Try offering him a soft scrambled egg!

These are the little devils these things (what are they?) he is still alive thankfully after some washing and blow drying and breaks, there is still some of those things in him (fewer thankfully) but whenever I pick him up or tap on him he moves, I can’t see him breathing but I know he is alive, whenever I try placing him on his fett he gets trys stabdint a up

Those look like lice.

You need to get PERMTHRIN based poultry dust and spray. Treat him and the rest of the flock with the DUST and their coop with the spray, immediately. To treat the coop, remove all bedding and sweep it out thoroughly and put all the bedding into a sealed plastic garbage bag or burn it if you have a place to do that. Spray the coop down thoroughly with the permethrin paying particular attention to any place wood meets wood then aim a fan into the coop to dry it out then put in fresh bedding.

Treat the birds by trying to get all their skin dusted, avoiding the head.

All this will need to be repeated in 7 days. Possibly again 7 days after that for 3 full treatments if the infestation is bad.

After you treat the rooster with the permethrin poultry dust, I would keep him inside until he is completely dry and warm and eating and drinking. Give him a warm mash of your complete chicken feed with a little scrambled egg, tuna or sardines mixed in for a protein boost. Also give him 1/4 - 1/3 ml Rooster Booster once daily for 3-5 days to help him recover and get him eating well again. It sounds like he's been suffering with these parasites for quite a while if he's boney. It sounds like he is in very poor condition and he may not make it.

Don't get him wet again as he is too weak to handle that and it will tax his body to try to warm back up.

Good luck.

I think you should bathe him periodically, try to drown the bugs. Make sure you drink coffee (if you have any) cause it would be good to stay awake.

Does your chicken have sores or wounds? And can we see pictures, please

He is startling to move his mouth (open and close) and I tried blow drying with the hair dryer on low and he like leaped away (it takes a while to heat up) so should ai leave him wet? Did he get scared? Should I give him water and add spple code vinegar or pedialyte, or like should I give him tap water or bottled?

Or not, honestly, maybe give him a break and wait till tomorrow until bathing him again.

Okay, thank you very much. He is still wet and doesn’t like the blow dryer do I just forced it but in intervals? He is slightly more active (moving mouth, eyes closed, laying down on side, I posted photos)

I hope he gets better.
