    Lethargic Rooster

    Thank you everyone for your help! It seems Clucky is on the mend! Today he crowed a couple times, it was the first time I've heard him crow in the last few days. He also has some of his feistiness back lol for a reason probably caused by the way my wife treated him growing up (not in a...

    Lethargic Rooster

    Got some frozen coconut oil he ate a couple chunks and seemed to have lost interest so I hope it was enough...gave him a little crop massage afterwards. It's hard to say if he's getting better or not...he's a little more active and he's a little more vocal now. He's still a bit lethargic and...

    Lethargic Rooster

    Thanks for the advice! I read somewhere about olive oil so I tried giving him some earlier but he wasn't too thrilled so I had to get a little creative and inject blue berries with olive oil (he loves blueberries lol) but I think him being able to peck at coconut oil would be a much better...

    Lethargic Rooster

    Thanks for all the information...his crop looked and felt the same as it did yesterday morning. It's a bit squishy maybe something comparable to memory foam lol. Does this look like it could be an impacted crop? His mouth doesn't smell sour either but I'm not sure if what's referred to as sour...

    Lethargic Rooster

    No sorries I'm very grateful for your help! As we are first time chicken owners and kind of learning as we go. We never really thought about having chickens until an experiment that supposedly wasn't a fertilized egg ended up hatching. It was so funny when he was growing up even the squeaks of...

    Lethargic Rooster

    I think he's doing a little better but still quite lethargic. What should an empty crop feel like? I don't see any visual signs that he's having trouble breathing, is there anything I should pay particular attention to in regards to breathing?

    Lethargic Rooster

    Thanks! And yes I noticed that yesterday it appeared a bit purple... When I had him out on the porch with me it actually went back to a bright red color. It doesn't appear that he's having a hard time breathing. As far as the temps it's been mid 80s-low 90s there coop and chicken run is kept...

    Lethargic Rooster

    Here's clucky! He actually crowed a little bit this morning and made a few of his usual noises but he's still acting a bit lethargic. He's with me on the patio right now getting some special wet food and some water with a chicken electrolyte mixed in... The hens sound jealous he's getting...

    Lethargic Rooster

    Thanks for the reply, I'll get a picture of him and check his crop this morning after the sun rises a little more. Yesterday was quite an adventurous day on top of my sick rooster.. my dogs found a bunny nest and one decided to bring a bunny to show us so now we've attempting to help this baby...
