I need help

[Tye_]

I've got a banty rooster from a lady who couldn't keep him due to her chickens beating him up... He has been here for just a week and today he looks not good... He eats but I haven't seen him drink anything... His comb is discolored and his feathers are fluffed up... In my 22 years of having chickens I've never had this happen before. I don't know if he's stressed cold or what.

I've done everything I could to help him

Is he quarantined currently? What are you feeding him? What are the temperatures?

I get feed from tractor supply. Ive never took a chickens temp and don't have anything for that and no he's not.. never had to quarantine chickens before

No, the temperature of wherever he is. It's best to quarantine birds that you did not get as chicks from a hatchery or hatch yourself because if they're sick, they can spread it to everyone else.

He did I do believe came from the same person I've got mine from. But I been thinking he may have dumb dumb syndromes. I did have a chicken like that before.

If the birds came from another property, they need to be quarantined. You yourself have to receive the chicks from the hatchery if you don't want to necessarily quarantine. A lot can get a bird sick between arriving as a chick and his age now

So far he is the first one I've had to keep away from others.
The one I got him from did pamper him and here he doesn't get that.

@azygous might have an idea whats wrong with him. I don't keep birds that aren't acting right.

I normally don't. I send them to the Amish to trade to to let them deal with it them
