Dry flaky skin

[NatureGirl74]

Roosters and all birds have a syrinx in their throat. It's somewhat like our voice box, but while ours makes noise by vibrating, the syrinx makes noise as air moves past it. Sometimes the syrinx changes its position just a bit, and it will produce extended "whistling". I have a rooster that does this sometimes. It sounds like he's wheezing, but he's perfectly fine. Your rooster is okay. If he wasn't he wouldn't be behaving normally.

Thanks! That's really helpful
