Thoroughly enjoyed the video. This little guy is adorable. He's like a toy. After he's all well from this thing, he should audition as a TV spokes model.

The doxy dosage is .25mg two times a day, preferably twelve hours apart. Pry his beak open. Shove the dose inside. Often, poultry dosages require opening a capsule and dividing the contents into the required dose. To reclaim the doxy powder to give to the chicken, I use a bite size square of...

While the symptoms appear superficially to be similar to coryza, I wouldn't rule out petroleum toxicity. If you wish to treat for both, I would use the doxycycline as the "cyclines" are most effective against the type of bacteria. Look closely at his wattles. Notice any swelling?

Green diarrhea often accompanies coryza infections. Give him the whole charcoal capsule directly into his beak two or three times a day for about three days. Milk thistle given a couple times a day can help clean out his liver. Treat only chickens showing symptoms. The antibiotic pill should...

If the lesions are related to the petrleum distillates in the permethrin solution, I would start him on activated charcoal as a precaution. It will hopefully bind with residual toxins in his body. It's late, and this may be unproductive, but it's a precaution I would take in your place.

Yes, it could be. Erythromycin and oxytetracycline are usually effective. Antimicrobials (eg, fluoroquinolones, macrolides) are active against infectious coryza. Various sulfonamides, including trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and other drug combinations have been successful for treatment.

Oh, dear. This permethrin formula has petroleum distillates in it. These are toxic to use on chickens. This may be what's causing his lesions.

Could you provide us with the brand name of the permethrin you used?

Is his behavior normal? Active, eating normally? Can you refrain from giving him anything green to eat until we get this figured out? That way, if his poop is green, it will present us with an additional symptom.

I've been cruising the google trying to come up with something. No luck. Nothing pops out that matches the rooster's lumps. We need to know what's inside one of these lumps, whether it's blood (tumors), watery fluid (allergic reaction), waxy yellow pus (infection, maybe staph). Are you up to...

I've researched every possible avian disease, and unless those lesions become more swollen and have a purple discoloration, I can't find anything that those symptoms your roo is showing points to. Is his poop normal?

Mosquitoes?

It looks a lot like early stage avian pox. If OP would state their location, we might figure this out by checking the local weather.

Do you have mosquitoes active right now?

If not fluid filled, are the yellow lesions rock hard, medium hard like flexed muscle, or flabby like fat?

I hope you have him quarantined as this could be contagious to your flock. Wash up after handling him before tending to your flock. It strikes me as fluid filled and related to a respiratory disease. has he been sneezing? Or it could be canker developing. Each is treated with a different med...
