    lethargic Cockerel not eating or drinking

    Also.. check the coop for red mite.. Google how to do this. They are red because they such blood from birds at night . . Can make the birds anemic and really really ill. I've experienced this first hand x

    lethargic Cockerel not eating or drinking

    More powder isn't great for killing them.. it's eat for prevention. To kill mites I use cat flea and tick killer, this was recommended by my vet for my hens. Buy the pipettes, frontline or something of equal quality. Put one drop under each wing. Works a treat!
