What is the Amprol 128 used for? I don't think I have ever read anything about that one.
Same as Corid, it's Amprolium 20% soluble powder...

Do you have another roo who could have fought with him? Did you hear a lot of crowing & hens going crazy?I let my chickens out of the coop this morning and all were fine. Went out a little bit ago and one of my roosters is limping around and missing feathers on his neck.do you think he is getting picked on? I am planning on thinning the flock but I really like this rooster.

It is also possible there was some type of predator attack, & the roo did his job. If all were cowering in the coop or huddled under things, then an attempted attack would be my guess. We're having daily issues with hawks here. The blue jays sound the alarm, followed by rooster crowing. That's when all the chickens become alert. Right before a hawk swoops, there's usually a long warning cry made by a roo & all take cover instantly. Although I don't like all the stress, it's nice to see my roos work as a team. It takes a while before any venture back out of the coop. The head roo stands guard at the entrance to the covered run.
Molting could be another reason for loss of feathers, but not the limp.
Such a bad day, I was moving the gold laced chicks and partridge to their outside pen around noon today and noticed some bloody stool in their brooder. My GL cockerel was all fluffed up and head down. I fixed up a batch of the tetroxy antibiotic that I had bought just in case, and put in their water container. I don't believe Tetroxy is for Cocci,(it is more for respiratory issues) so I also jumped online and ordered some Corid cause I read that worked the best. He was fine yesterday when I brought them out and then took them in for the night. Everything I've read says it can happen fast, but didn't think it would go this fast. I took my grandsons for a walk and to the park, and when I came home he was dead. I just feel horrible. Now I am worried about the 2 pullets, I have them on the antibiotic, but hope nothing happens to them. I am going to treat the whole flock when the Corid arrives even though the young chicks were never free ranging with them, but my SL bantam cochin always jumps in their pen in the morning to look for feed they spilt from the day prior. This is my first loss and I am devastated. Is there anything else I should be doing? I tossed out their food and water dish, bleached out their brooder and put in all fresh bedding. Removed all the bedding from their outdoor pen, which went right into a bag into the trash.
They are fine! Eggs will last weeks, longer if you decide to refrigerate. There are some great articles&posts on how long eggs last, I was shocked to learn how long farmers have before they have to get them to the store.
