Good point about the calcium. There is calcium added to some of the feed I give (it’s a mix) although it’s hard to find feeds suited for roosters only without that added calcium. Excellent info! I am very curious about herbal uses with chickens. I do see I can order Arjuna herb online. I...

He’s a serama, a mini bantam. They do that with their wings-point them to the ground. He doesn’t have the full serama stance with the chest out and head back and tail straight up. He wasn’t posing in this pic, but then again, I don’t think he’s ever done the full stance like some others I have...

Saaniya, thank you for the recommendation for the herb! I will definitely look into that and do some research. I recognize the name Arjuna. Was it named after the god Arjuna? I do think it’s some form of stress. He’s actually doing better now- less brackish/blackish red color of the...

I’m wanting to bump this thread. I’m still wondering if there could be any help for him. He is still doing ok. He just gets winded easily and his comb is still an awful color. I’d say his condition is the same. He’s eating and pooping fine, no other symptoms. If there is something that...

Yes, correct. No other symptoms and it’s been like 6 months since all this started. As you can see, he’s looking still well (despite his scab-which was a scuffle through a cage door, long story. He’s not in a position for scuffles now). You can see his dropping on the towel there too- poop...

Thank you. It seems like he has. I think I’ll put him with a hen. I just need a bigger cage for the both of them together.

This photo best shows the “brackishness”. He didn’t seem to have much of a problem today with it, but the color change and panting is still there. I just took this photo now. (The scab on the front is not what I’m taking about in terms of brackish). It’s hard to show that the comb is darker...

I suspect the heart/circulation issue because any time he gets active his comb goes brackish- dark blackish red and he pants and gets lethargic. From experience I know heart issues and freezing temps for chickens result in death. They can‘t really take the stress of the cold. Seramas I was...

So, most of this whole year I had some issues with a 3 year old serama rooster. I first noticed a problem earlier this spring when he got beaten up by two of his flock mates -roosters which he had been living with fine for a little more than a year. Luckily I happened to see the fight and...
