Lethargic rooster

[HeadstrongNigerians]

I have a rooster who has not been acting like himself for about a week now.
He takes a while to get down from the roosting bar to eat with the rest of the flock in the morning. He does eventually come down to eat. At first I figured it could just be because its been so freezing here, but none of the other chickens are acting off aside from him, and our coop is fully insulated.
I myself have not seen him sneeze, but yesterday another family member said they watched him sneeze and had snot come out of his nostrils. I am wondering if this could be a respiratory infection. What would be the best course of action for treating him? I don't have any powdered antibiotics on hand so I would need to order some if that is what he needs. And should I treat the entire flock or just him? I would hate to treat the whole flock and have to throw out eggs, especially if the hens don't need to be treated.

I would say separate him for the moment, so You can give him special car. @azygous @Eggcessive

It wouldn't hurt to treat him with some Tylan 50. Order it here. https://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=30E07BC1-7B6A-11D5-A192-00B0D0204AE5 Only symptomatic chickens should be treated with an antibiotic.

Do you have another source for this? I'll look at TSC, next time I'm there. Valleyvet.com says it's out of stock at the moment.

I'm just building up my first aid kit, and don't have any of this yet.

Here is a source of Tylosin powder for the water, and dosage is 1 tsp per gallon of water for 5 days:
