low body temperature, respiratory ailment, dark wattle

[rspfau]

My 8 month old rooster developed a dark wattle a few weeks ago (but behaved normally)--now he has a respiratory ailment (snuffling) and very low body temperature (compared to the hens)--he's cold to the touch. Also, he wouldn't leave the roost when I let them all out of their pen this evening.

Any ideas what's wrong?

Thanks!
