Lethargic rooster not eating but drinking lots of water. Please help

[kittyschooks]

Good day, this is the first time I'm posting on BYC and I'm not sure if it'll be a repeat of a previous post so please bare with me. I have a few Orpington cross chooks about 6 months old. One of my roosters has become lethargic in the last few days and has lost all interest in food of any sort. I've tried it all (without force feeding him). He does however drink a lot of water. His crop is basically empty and feels watery since he hasn't eaten in at least a day. I've read other posts on here about sour crop and impacted crop but not sure if it's that. They haven't been wormed yet as far as I know. His droppings appear to be normal in consistancy although he has had some watery ones during the night. I've separated him from the rest so far. I'm not sure what's the matter with him as I'm really new to keeping chickens. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
