    Sick Rooster. Please Help!

    Hi All, We lost our rooster Al this morning. So very sad. He was a good bird. I just wanted to thank everyone for their help. It's nice to know there are people out there that will take the time to give advice to a stranger. A speedy recovery to all chickens! RIP Al (Alexander) Dave

    Sick Rooster. Please Help!

    Hi Everyone, Well Al the rooster seems to be doing a slight bit better but I think it's too early to tell. He's had his first dose of de-wormer, Wazine, a couple of hours ago.

    Hi, A couple of things to add: 1. His stool is very runny with no blood 2. He does not eat or drink. 3. Most of the time he is standing. 4. His comb and wattle appear to be normal in color. Maybe a bit on the dark side. I know this question is a dime a dozen but please help me diagnose...
