So I posted earlier about my 2 roosters getting into a fight 2 days ago. Well my older rooster (little over 1yr old) isn’t doing to good. He’s weak and lethargic not wanting to leave his coop. I picked him up and felt a large hard lump on his breast. I’m not sure what it is but it feels like Bone. He has his tail feathers down and I’m not sure he’s eating as he has a mucus like saliva in his mouth. What can I do for him? I’ve provided food and water easily for him with electrolytes. Do I need to syringe feed/water him? Please help! He’s such an asshole but I do love him and want to help him ❤️
 
Is he still in the flock with the younger rooster? Once subordinated a dominant rooster frequently completely loses his will. I would separate him from the other rooster with a couple of his favorite hens.
 
They are still in the same run together but he is blocked off from the rest. He won’t come out of his coop at all. He seems really weak, sorta falls over when I put him down. Do I need to put up something to block his view of the other rooster?
