Thank you for reading. Young rooster about 3 months old is not standing and now has diarrhea. He quit standing yesterday. My son hand fed him some crumble but he only ate a small portion. I offered him water and he didn't seem to drink.
1) Don't know the breed. We bought at Tractor Supply. There are two pullets we bought at the same time and they are fine. The three birds are much heavier than any chicken we have purchased before. We buy for egg production but maybe this is a meat production bird
2) They are outside in an enclosed area at night but are allowed to free range during the day. They are on ground.
3) Currently I have him in the shade under some bushes.
4) Also, he never grew back feathers and neither did the two pullets. Very strange looking with no back feathers.
5) Would like to treat ourselves if possible.
6) We have 40+ other chickens all fine.
Thank you Becky M Alexander Arkansas
