Help: My Broiler rooster is sick

[connectdave]

Are you sure he's a broiler? As in Cornish Cross. He looks a lot like a White Leghorn rooster to me.
Do you have a product called "Poultry Nutridrench" available to you where you live? If not, you can easily order it online. Give him the appropriate dosage to body weight. It's not a cure-all but it will give him the nutrients he needs to have some energy and hopefully aid in a better and quicker recovery.
And when he gets his appetite back, you need to switch him over to a proper chicken feed.

In the meantime, try dizzling droplets of water on the side of his beak with a syringe. He may drink that way. It's better than forcing him to drink, which could end badly.

Yes he is a broiler. I bought it from the broiler poultry farm when he was a baby. He was weak from the beginning itself. The farm people were to throw him and abandon him cause of his weakness but I bought 2 of them before they could do so. I searched in imteinte and the product nutridrench is available in Amazon. I will purchase it but I don't know the quantity to feed him. I hope they will provide the diet along with that product.

Sorry friend , but I don't butcher my pets. All I need is to save his life. In my hometown we don't have a vet hospital or vet drug store. I usually give him rice and cabbage and sometimes watermelon and onions. Can you name some antibiotics so I could order online. Till then I am going to give him tuna and cooked egg.

I don’t know very much about meat chickens, but I do know that after a certain age, they will start to have problems because they are made to live a short life. I think that that is the cause of his “ illness”. Maybe others can explain it in more depth..

grit, calcium pills, wet bread and DE put him in his own cage and feed him wet bread grit and crushed up calcium pills in his food. also you can put some DE in his food. put some apple cider vinegar in his water. or just put him out of his misery if those don't work :l

Thanks a lot for responding. Sure I will. Boiled or omelet ? I don't know if I could make him eat cause he won't eat anything and been drowsing whole day and sleeping and won't even crow now. If I make him stand , he stands numb for a long time. I had to forcefully inject watery foods in his mouth. If you could suggest some watery food I would be very thankful too. This all happened when his poop goes white. I am desperately looking for name of medicine he needs to save him any way possible.

Do not inject water or watery foods into the chicken, it’s could mess up their digestive system, scramble the eggs and hold them in you hand until he eats them, keep him awake as much as possible accept for night time. Separate him from the other chickens. Do this until you can find some medicine to give to him.

@connectdave , let me know if you need more help. Please do not force feed him until you are sure he's warmed up and had plenty of water.

Definitely , you have helped me a lot and I have learned many things here about chicken in just 2-3 hrs. For sure I am not forcing to make him drink. Previously I was unaware that it's dangerous. Let it take time but I will slowly treat him with water diets.
Just now I booked online electrolytes and nutridrench for him. It will take 7-10 working days to reach me. Till then I am going to follow your steps to keep him warm and give him warm drops of mixed food and obviously I will try to give some egg to him. Rest God help. I will get back to you if I find some changes good or worse.

My meat birds lived close to a year... I can remember the exact time but we had 4( 2 girls and 2 boys) they were free ranged with out other chickens and that helped alot. They were giving to us but I will never buy them or take them again. One had a heart attack and my husband had to shoot it to put it out of it misery. We decided to butcher all of them that day... we saw their insides and their hearts and organs where bad.. you could tell their weight was too much... even their legs were bruised. Broke my heart!!
Their body's start to breakdown at a certain age unfortunately. But I understand where you are coming from. My heart would be aching to see a bird hurting! I really hope all the information helps! ​

Fluids must be given first, and he needs more than drops. The safest way to give him the fluids he needs is to tube them.
