I have a sick rooster, he is really weak, and can't hold his wings up.
Can I give him sugar water?
He is inside with another rooster they stay together all the time, he eats just fine, he barely drinks anything. I'm worried he won't make it through the night. And is there anything else to do?
(I don't have time to take him to the vet)
Thanks for any advice

I'm afraid I was too late. He's not respondingto anything. He's just laying across my lap, lifeless

Electrolytes absorb faster and better. 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tbsp corn syrup/sugar/molasses, 1 pt. water, 1 pinch salt. See if you have any vitamins; pictures would be great and can you describe symptoms better? Is there anything wrong with his crop or his poop? Has he eaten anything weird recently? Is he underweight? Is his comb still red and upright? And anything else you can think of.

@Ravynscroft , @Eggcessive , and @casportpony may be able to help.

So sorry for your loss...

Sorry for your loss. I would get some Poultry Cell or Poultry NutriDrench vitamin/electrolytes tonic at your feed store to use in emergency situations like this. If you want to look for what killed him, you can send his body into the state vets for a necropsy if you keep his body refrigerated. Drooping wings can be a sign of dehydration, or many illness, coccidiosis, and others.
