My rooster seems to have no energy he just stands around all day looking depressed he still eats but is really skinn. His poop is runny and I was just watching him try to fly to his perch and he couldn't even get a foot off the ground
Does anyone know what this is and how to treat it?
Thanks
 
No I haven't wormed him lately
Nah nothing like that. He had a puffy crop a few days ago but has gone down
 
May have an infection or kinda sounds like gape worms

I would try to Worm him and make him some scrambled eggs.
They say DE added to feed is wonderful for that and you don't have to throw out eggs but it would be a good idea to worm all at the same time.

Is he missing any feathers on his wings? could he be molting?

does his vent look clean and healthy?

Edited to add
add some apple cider vinegar with mother in it to the water that should help with digestion and maybe clear up the poo situation.

It could be more than 1 thing.
Is he stressed are there night predators bugging his flock?

Try giving him some electrolytes to possibly get him up & moving then if he looks like he's feeling somewhat better you can worm him.

What is DE? His vent is fine and I have added apple cider vinegar to his water and no no lost feathers.
