Help: My Broiler rooster is sick

[connectdave]

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! ​

I said I will give all my try till his last breath. I just can't kill him. And thanks a lot for helping me out especially I ordered electrolytes as you said.

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.

Ok, I will. But 1st I am arranging for an infrared bulb to keep him warm. I never had a cage cause I liked them moving wild n free , I am making a cardboard box to keep him.
