20 week old leghorn cockerel was hit with a broom and won’t move.

I'm in the minority here, but I suggest you process him. Now. He tried flogging your mother. He is going to do it again. Even a small rooster can hurt you and, as I have said before, the cost of one trip to the ER will buy a whole lot of chicken food. I think a nice hot soothing bath with some onions, garlic, peppercorns, and a bay leaf or two is the best cure for what ails him. Leghorns aren't very big, but they do make very good soup.

He has already passed away.

Sorry about that. I guess. It's probably for the best even though you did miss out on the soup. There are all sorts of supposed cures out there for a flogging rooster, but I don't think any of them work all that well. Personally, I just have zero patience for that sort of behavior, but that's me.

The appropriate response is, "Sorry that he passed. You did everything you could to save him." Being mean looks bad on you.

Lots of different opinions on here, but i think the main point they lost a pet that was very much loved after trying everything under the sun to save him. Im proud of you for every effort you put into helping your guy and im very sorry for how this ended. He most certainly felt your kindness and compassion. Hugs @cluckingheck

I was rooting for the little guy, so sorry you lost him.

OMG, I JUST GASPED OUT LOUD!!! Poor little Foghorn! Awww I feel badly for him & for you. Everyone is right in saying that you did a great job with him. We know how he got into his predicament but not why he just stopped getting better. Bummed for you
