    Rooster has stopped crowing and very weak

    Rooster has stopped crowing and very weak

    So, update this morning, his physical health is still poor, he's not moving much, I did get him to eat and drink again. but the good: yesterday when I held him I wound up covered in dozens of lice, this morning when I held him I didnt have a single one, so I guess the permethrin did its job so...

    Hey everyone, I've got a 1 year old Rooster that has recently become very weak and has stopped crowing, he was very active and talkative before, his comb has also lost a lot of color. I looked him over today and found what looks to be a bunch of lice and their eggs under his wings. I'm not sure...

    Im really not sure, I was told what the rooster was but I forgot and the hens are not all the same I think. The story is my landlord's where I have lived for the last few years have chickens for eggs and every year they get a few fertilized ones from a friend and then they hatch here and become...
