Ayam Cemani rooster sick

[MeganBack]

I have an Ayam Cemani rooster who has been acting funny all day today. He’s been squatted in the corner of the coop with his feathers fluffed up and I just thought he was cold since it’s been 15 degrees here but when I went back out to the coop he was laying on the ground. He always goes into the coop at night. What could be wrong with him?? He doesn’t have runny nose or eyes. I did bring him inside to warm up though and got him to drink some water.

Maybe he was so cold he didn't want to move

I'm sorry

He is likely sick. But we may be able to help you diagnose and treat him. First, please look him all over for injury, parasites, and overall health. How is his crop? Does it empty at night? Has he lost any muscle on his breast? Are his feet and legs free from injury? How is his breathing? If you can report back, we can go from there. Good luck!

Maybe give him apple vinegar and some electrolytes in his water only a table spoon

He ended up being just fine! I think he was just cold and wanted to come inside lol. He perked up after an hour of being inside!
