I don’t know that I would use antibiotics on him, since there may not be anything of an infectious nature. What would you be treating? Droppings can vary a lot depending on how much water they drink,,what they are eating, and if they have a normal or a cecal dropping. Cecal droppings come from the ceca, and they are very smelly and resemble chocolate or butterscotch pudding. Pictures of his droppings are welcome.

My cockerel often has purpleish tips on his comb, and they come and go. They look like what I see in the picture of your guy.

Thank you for taking care of him and caring about him too.

That is encouraging, thank you!!!

Thank you!! It’s does resemble that at times. I took him as a youngster because I knew no one would want him, with that being said, this is my first rodeo ... I just adore him and he definitely knows my voice and comes high stepping to find me, I just want to make sure I do what’s best for him.

It sounds like he has a great home with you and your hen.

Love it!!! I may have missed it in earlier posts: What's his name? He's very handsome!

And my little roo gets a blue tipped comb every once in a while. So do my hens who have huge combs (I have a Buff Orp and a Golden Comet who have very large, floppy combs).
