I've had a rooster sick for 3 weeks. He has green poop. Lost a lot of weight. I mean...a lot. He is all bone now. I feed him mashed egg with a syringe without a needle 3x per day. He is so weak he can't stand up so I exercise his legs and feet for him. And have a pillow so he can prop his head. I have treated him with antibiotics. No improvement. I've treated him for worms. No improvement and I've treated him with corid. And no improvement. At all. None. He is breathing heavy like gasping. He refuses water and eveything else hence the syringe feeding. His crop is nowhere to be found. I know it's there obviously I've had chickens for a long time but it doesn't get full enough to really stand out. It doesn't feel like a balloon it just feels like nothing's there at all.I need some advice fast because I am going to send my baby to rooster heaven soon because this just seems like its not gettin better. I can't deal with him suffering anymore. I need to know if there's anything else I can do or if it even sounds like sour crop. He has no smell coming from his beak area. Yesterday it smelled a little "sweet" but he ate some apple baby food. I really hope someone here can help.
and his face isn't red anymore. It white. Like a tan color. He just sits there all puffed up. I'm crying just thinking about him
Hi there! I totally feel your pain, is he eating anything?. I just lost my six month old rooster this morning to the same problem. It's been a tough day. I can't stop crying.He was suffering for a week. He could barely walk he lost his balance. It's really sad when u bond with them and this happens. So I understand what your going through and I hope he can get better. How old is your little guy?
I'm so sorryif u need to talk I'm here
