i made a shorter version as one is very long: https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...ar-infection-please-help-me-find-out.1478551/
so yesterday before dawn, my rooster (hes 2.5 years old) was yawning a lot, i have noticed in the past week hes yawning a lot so i searched on google and well got worried but this time i won't jump on anything google say in a instant, if you look at my post history, i have posted about my rooster bumblefoot not long ago and when i searched about it on google it got me very worried but when i posted on here and the backyardchickens reddit i got informed much more and found out it's not that big of a issue as google told me, i searched "why is my rooster yawning so much" and got a result of gapeworm and that got me worried but found out it's rare and it's that rare that there are hardly any result on google/youtube and even here the result compare to other matter like bumblefoot, it's very less, although i checked his mouth and found nothing in it (i might be bad at finding it), but it's could be in hiding in lungs of his, i searched respiratory disease which is similar and tried to find it's symptoms but there only three symptoms my rooster shares, 3 months ago i shifted into a new house and this house is very hot because it's build very badly and hardly has windows so my chickens was panting because of hot temperature so i daily showered them a bit so they don't get heatstroke and also make them sit infront of the fan to get some cold air, my chickens would make "kak, kak, kak, kak, kak" sound when breathing with a open mouth a lot of times (my rooster in included here btw) which stopped like 8\9 days because weather has gotten much better and colder (as winter is coming in just month or two) so i doubt that was a disease issue as every chicken was doing it. my rooster still opens his mouth sometime specially around 2/3/4 pm but that is the most hottest time of the day so i guess that is not related to disease too, hes also shaking his head a bit, not much but i am monitoring him today and seen him do it 4 times and i have only monitored him for 20 minutes so he probably does that a lot when i am not monitoring but that is also in ear infection symptoms, hes also not eating much but when hes with a other chickens he does with them or when i give him from my own hands or when it's meat or tomato or something tasty but when hes alone he doesn't eat much and hes like that, he doesn't like to eat much form long time which isn't new, i also noticed he was also pooping watery a week ago? sometime full watery or sometime little bit of green mixed in the watery poop so i had a syrup which is for human but i have gave him a lot of my own medicine that fixed him like it did right now, i gave him entamizole which is a syrup for diarrhea or urine infection etc, i make him drink one time per day and after 5 days (last day is 2 days ago) he started pooping solid, not full solid tho but it's 70/80% solid but also kinda looking like cream so i guess i gotta give him a few time more cup of the syrup, when i searched up on google yesterday i decided i am gonna monitor him today and when i checked after waking up he was literally doing that which made me more worried but how can a rare bacteria get in my house? hes not even a farm grown but there still a possiblity, it maybe rare but the chance is not zero so he might still have it (althought i have seen people saying it's rare in usa, like what do they mean? i should consider it not rare in my country? i am from pakistan btw), i researched more today and found out other similar infection, ear infection and my sister was telling me he have weird yellow liquid in his ear so i checked it, one of his ears is filled with yellow liquid and the other one is fully blocked which look like blocked by a black fur or something so i searched how to treat it and calm a bit down as it's seem i have stuff at my home to treat it but i don't think i can treat it if it's gapeworm or respiratory disease... what do you think? he yawn very less when is with chickens but alone is random too, sometime in 5 minutes he only yawns 2 times and other 5 minutes hes yawn 10 times.. what yall think? it is a gapeworm? ear infection? he got respiratory disease because of panting a lot in hot temperature? my rooster is acting pretty good, he seems active and no sign in behaviour and isn't making weird noises also if it is ear infection, i got told the way to treat it is to soak his ears with a little bit of water then soak q-tip in water and clean his ears, after cleaning, put neosporin in his ears daily, which i don't have but i got a ear medicine call lightsporin and i guess both have sporin in their name so mine will work too?? is that a right way to treat a ear infection?

I know mouth picture is bad but that the best I could come up with, he's ears Is also smelling bad, I think this is ear infection, I am gonna clean his ears Tommorow but I need to do more search on how to treat it.
Edit: ok so after this post, i checked him and he pooped infront of me and it was watery again with a lot of green stuff mixed in it, weird, just when i wokeup today, he pooped a half solid one infront of me. it's seems the poop issue isn't fixed yet. but i think hes having diarrea, even tho this kind of poop is symptom of gapeworms, i doubt it, my guess is my rooster have is ear infection and diarrea at the same time.
