While your at the store see if they have any poultry dust. He may have parasites...mites and lice can kill. We'll talk about worms too. Lets get the chicken food first.
If you don't mind, what state are you in? I'm guessing west coast if your store is still open. He'll do so much better with chicken food. I'd get chick starter/grower if he free ranges...give it to him in his cage and put a bowl out in the yard during the day.

KITTYMAMA! I remember you from your egg avatar! Is that you? And I loved that egg pic...why did you remove it?
Yes poster, feed him chicken feed...and that doesn't mean corn. I would get a bag of chick starter 20% if he free ranges.
How old is your rooster? It's pretty rare that a full grown chicken would suffer from cocci. Sometimes I get a grown chicken that poops reddish poops and its fine. Have you ever wormed him?
