My 9 month old silkie rooster died this morning, yesterday & the day before he was kinda lethargic. He’s usually the one that is always alone and strays from the crowd so I didn’t notice anything different 3-5 days ago, my daughter noticed he was kinda lethargic 2 days ago and yesterday he came out to eat & then laid down in the shade in a corner behind the feed. I brought him inside. He slowly got worse & worse & this morning he died. Only symptom I saw was him losing feathers on his head. I never saw bugs on him. He did have some runny poop when I saw him poop last. I’m very worried it could spread to my other chickens. One of my chicks has an eye that’s closed but not swollen. I’ve been spraying it with pink eye spray stuff. Could this be something that could be related. I’m so stressed. Also should add we just left for a family reunion for 5 days so I’m a nervous wreck being gone
