    Rooster not acting normal for about a week. Lethargic, fluffed, away from flock, stands still, or just lays down. Bubblefoot??? Please help!

    My Silkie Rooster was having similar symptoms about 5 weeks ago. When his limp became worse and he was laying more than standing, I took him to a farm Vet. The Dr. Checked his stool and there was no Cocci. or parasites. He did see more bacteria than normal, so he gave him an antibiotic inj...
