HELP!!! There's something wrong with my rooster!!!!!

[Silkielove102]

I really don't know what wrong with him....

He would start eating, then he would stop for a sec, and would start packing at the sides of the bowl. Then I would have to move his head back to the food. Then he would repeat. Same with water.btw, I have to literally help him eat. HElP. Before I call the vet.

Can you post photos of his poop?

Coccidiosis does not always present as blood in the droppings. There are 9 strains and only 1 (debatable 2) that shows a blood in the poop.

You do mention that you gave him electrolytes and these "almost always make him feel better" - has he been sick or droopy before? Similar symptoms or....??? How many times have you had to give electrolytes to perk him up?

Is his crop emptying overnight? (it's flat in the mornings before he eats/drinks)

No he has not been sick before, well not that I know of.

He cant have coccidios, he's acting very weird...

Can he see well? Do the feathers around his eyes need trimming?

What have you given him so far? You've wormed him - have you given any vitamins?
Having to move his head back to food/water - his aim is off? I think I would give him Vitamin E and B1. Do you have any Poultry Cell?

No I don't know what that is.

No I don't know what that is.

Are you in the US?
Poultry Cell is vitamins. You can find those in feed stores or online.

What brand of electrolytes were you using before? Do they have any vitamins in them?

I just noticed that he would open his wings as if he would have an itch, but once he started moving his head towards the inside of h iui s wing, he would stop as if he were giving up....
