My rooster is sick need help. Yellow distress and won’t walk sits all day. What might be wrong?

Welcome to BYC. Could you post pictures of the Rooster, as well as a few pictures of his feces?

Hard to exactly tell what's going on here. Bright yellow poop can mean anything from worms, coccidiosis, anorexia, bacterial/viral infections, organ/liver failure, or tumors/cancers. Given his condition, It may be good if you bring him inside, and set him in a warm, dimly lit environment with feed and water provided. To keep him hydrated, try dripping sugar water, or a poultry vitamin along his beak every few hours, or offer him feed, wettened down to a soupy consistency.

Is he able to stand up at all? Have you examined his body all over, looking for injuries, lesions, etc. How does his crop feel? How old is the bird?

If you live near a vet, it would be good to take a sample of his poop, and send it in for a fecal flotation, and presumptive gram stain, to get an idea of the bacterial/ and parasite load in his feces. If a vet is not an option, you may have to treat by cross elimination and start him on a wormer/ possibly antibiotics and see if there is an improvement.

Hopefully, others will have suggestions.
