I was able to snap a pic of his poop

The pic makes the shade look brighter than in person, but is this regular looking enough cecal or is something truly amiss?
 
So a fecal float test at my vet is $79 and takes 5-7 business days. Not exactly quick or efficient, as they send it out to have it done. Began deworming yesterday and on day 4 of Corid. Is there anything else I should look at doing?

He died this afternoon. I must say, this thread was not as helpful as I had hoped it would be.

Sorry for your loss...sometimes they just don't make it.
Having a necrospy done with labs is the only way to know for sure what the problem was.
Sometimes a DIY necrospy will tell the tale.

Birds often don't show symptoms until they are really sick and there's just not time to diagnose and treat.
 
I'm looking into a necropsy, the state lab is closed for the weekend so it may take time to arrange. I know most folks are not vets, however many have been doing this longer than I and I was hoping for some insight as to how I could stabilize and look for clues that I initially would not know to look for. Sadly, the majority of posts on this thread are mine, and I was giving updates hoping someone could chime in with additional info on what the odd poop color/consistency, lack of physical sign, bouts of alert lethargy, etc. may help indicate. I am aware of diseases like avain flu, Marek's, etc., and was hoping for some kind of clarification based on what I had indicated, but alas that wasn't quite the case. That and the ridiculous question from the thread hijacker when I'm trying to save my cockerel really irked me.

I know, and I know it is sometimes the nature of the thing but it doesn't help make it easier to understand. The necropsy is next, this is my 4th bird to die over the course of the year since about June that I cannot explain. Hopefully the necropsy provides answers.
