Hello everyone! Thanks for taking the time to read, I hope all is well for you and yours!
Our Dark Brahma rooster, Vegeta, is about 10 months old now. He has been crowing for several months but has always made some other weird noises too (almost like sneezing… it’s hard to describe, like a TCH! squeak).
A little over a week ago now he can’t crow anymore. He still makes his little sneezy type sounds but they’re much much quieter and seemingly more frequent. He tries to crow and no sound comes out, just the sound of the breath.
Couple things to note:
-One of the last times I heard him crow I was collecting eggs and he started to crow bloody murder, and much more high pitched than his usual crow. Maybe he strained something?
-None of our hens are showing any problems. We isolated him for 3 days to be safe but no other symptoms have come up that we can tell. We also did VetRX orally during this time for him nightly and put some in his water.
-This more may be from isolating him for a few days but he’s usually a bit more confident and not aggressive persay but definitely checks you in the pecking order. Since this he’s been really standoffish but in a sullen kind of way… maybe I’m reading into it too much.
Anyways, any help would be appreciated! We don’t want to take him to a vet ideally. Any ideas as to what happened, how to fix it, etc.
Thanks again community

I feel bad he’s still having a hard time.
