Thank you all for your help, I guess it was just his time to go. He passed away tonight when I brought him inside to hand feed him. He wasn’t himself the past week, I’m glad that his suffering ended. His frill and wattle were very red when he passed- so I didn’t think he was nearing the end...

I’ve been bringing him inside every morning and night now to hand feed him and tonight he pooped twice between eating. He’s doing better, and I think he’ll be ok. He’s eating feed and grit on his own. Very little bit at least he’s starting to eat again. He’s still sleeping all the time, hunched...

Thank you, I have checked for external wounds or anything out of the ordinary but have found nothing. I checked the inside of his mouth and it is normal. Though he has been sneezing once maybe every 10 minutes. He has also started breathing with his mouth slightly open: his nostrils do not have...

No matter which flock he was with he was in a coop with an outdoor run attached. He began acting different when I was completing college applications so I was unable to monitor him. I hadn’t thought of it as an issue but his face only (frill was red, face yellowish green?), maybe two or three...

Thank you, I don’t think it’s sour crop. His crop has always been squishy. I felt it right now, he is still squishy. I was worried that he might’ve accidentally eaten something that is causing issues with his digestive system? Should I give him tums or something just in case? I don’t want to go...

I have added grit to his feed right now, the hen is eating some- he is not. Should I make him eat some?

Thank you, I was planning on adding electrolytes to his water. I added some poultry specific electrolytes to his water this morning. I also stuffed the vitamin mush into his bread and he eats it. About his droppings, he is pooping regularly. They are not too watery or too stiff. Soft play dough...

Thank you so much for helping out, it means a lot and it’s a relief to know I’m not alone in this. I am with him in his coop as I am writing, he is in my lap (he loves being held) he fell asleep immediately. Here he is a few months ago when he was healthy, to him now: (He blinked in the...

My rooster is a 6 year old, black and white booted bantam. He lives with a flock of about 15 smaller chickens. A few days ago I noticed his face was very pale and yellowish, only him, none of the other chickens. Two days after that he was moved to a different coop with a heat lamp and one hen...
