I have a 5.5 year old bantam rooster that just sits in the corner looking ill. It's been going on for a month now. He's lost a lot of weight but I can't figure out what to do for him. His droppings appear normal but he just appears unwell.
What do I do about something like this? There are no symptoms. He was treated for coccidia with the rest of the flock over the summer so I don't believe it's parasites or worms. I'm so confused.
I've been reading around here and still don't know what to think. I thought maybe it was old age (I thought it was closer to 7.5) but now that I realize he's 5.5 (had to dig through email to see when I got him. I took him off of someone's hands)
If any of you rememember me, I wrote in here very upset about our polish. I thought she had broken her neck but you all directed me to wry neck. I nursed her back from the dead and three months out, I'm still syringe feeding her and she's still living in the house. I bought material for a diaper for her. I can't help myself. LOVE these chickens!
Any suggestions for my rooster? He should have a good couple of years left in him. I think I will add apple cider vinegar and chopped garlic to his water.
