I have a friend that has a rooster that is very sick... I payed her a visit the other day and my dd loves to see the chickens. So off we go to look at the chickens. As soon as I saw this roo I knew that something was wrong......he was just standing there with his eye's shut, moving his head slowely from side to side. She said that he was just sleeping. So me being the animal person that I am new better...... I told her that they don't sleep during the day, not like that anyway. So I decided to check this fellow out. I go in the pen and he don't even open his eye's, nor does he move. I wasn't gonna take any chances of him "getting" me, so I take the end of a fishing pole and nudge him just a little, nothing. So I nudge him again and he did manage to walk a little way's but very slowely. He only opened one of his eye's. He has some major runny poo, I didn't notice any blood at that time. His comb and wattles were still bright red. (keep in mind that was Monday). I told her that he was sick and he needed some medicine, and should be kept away from the hens and everyone else (3 hens in the pen with him). She really does not know her a** from a hole in the ground. Anybody got any ideas what this could be and what I should do to help.......
Edited to say: she is not a very hands on person so, I know the roo is gonna die if I don't help.
