I have a young probable cockerel thats 10weeks who’s comb started getting dark and acting lethargic yesterday. I saw him poop this morning and it’s milky white and liquid. Any ideas, suggestions?

What are you feeding, including treats?
Is his crop emptying?

Photos of poop may be helpful.

Is his vent pasted over?
Has he been eating/drinking?

How long has he been outside?
Can you take a fecal float to a vet to have some testing?

I'd be tempted to treat for Coccidiosis. Corid would be good to use, but if you have a Sulfa antibiotic, I think that would be better.

He just pooped on the towel. I know it’s hard to see

Listen to him breathe. Is he making rattling sounds? I suspect this youngster has an avian virus and tumors are shutting down his organs. He's very sick, at any rate.

Are any other birds acting "off"? Usually coccidiosis doesn't affect just one bird. It's one clue pointing that way. But I never discourage a chicken keeper from treating for coccidiosis just to be safe. It's easy and safe, so why not.

There is an outside chance he has a serious bacterial infection. If you have an antibiotic on hand or can find one at your local pet or feed store, treating for infection along with treating for coccidiosis is a very practical way of covering all the bases.

What is his breed? Sorry that he is ill. Both of the posters above are very experienced.

I have a couple with runny poop that’s white and one that’s green smelly. I’ve delt with coccidosis in the past this doesn’t seem the same. Here is poop from some of the other birds. No blood. No puffing up. One of my other EE may be starting to get lethargic. Just started ivermectin in their water and going to get safeguard in a bit. The girl I got the hatching eggs from seems to think worms. I did catch them drinking old rain water out of a tire yesterday. Thoughts

breathing is perfectly normal. No labored breathing. No rattles or wheezing. No open mouth.

Can o add corid to the ivermectin water?

Found this under the roost? Not exactly bloody but??? If they have already been drinking water with ivermectin can I give them CORID too? I have another hen acting lethargic now!
