Is anyone interested in some cockerels? I have a bunch that will need new homes eventually. I have:
13 week old buff EE (EE/ buff orp mix)
3 month Rhode Island Red (was supposed to be pure but I think it's a RIR/ barred rock mix)
7 week old "ameraucana" Easter eggers- these should have beards, muffs, pea combs, etc but assorted non-standard colors
7 week old australorps
7 week old black laced red wyandotte
8 week old mixed breeds (buff orpington/ EE and BO/ olive Egger)

I am in Moore county. I can take some photos of them if anyone is interested.

good luck getting rid of them... you might just have to have fried chicken

That's horrible. I wish I had room for more chickens. Maybe I can have more if I ever move. But idk when that will be. DH said he would rather go ahead and kill my rooster instead of watching him suffer. But I can't bring myself to do it. I love my rooster and I have been hand feeding him for 3 weeks. I am the ONLY reason he's still alive no treatments have helped and if I left him alone he'd starve which is worse than just suffering. Truthfully it hurts my feelings watching him eat. I cry whenever I'm with him.

Hmm his breath smells like yeast rolls right now. Hasn't been smelling at all. Not even this afternoon at his feeding. Any ideas y'all?

could it be his liver? all these symptoms remind of when a human goes through liver failure.

Liver failure? What would cause that?

I was reading on fatty liver disease and a symptom was green poop, but i searched about the yeast breath and that might be sour crop here's what i found http://www.tillysnest.com/2012/01/crop-issues.html

What about avian tuberculosis? I can't find much about it online but much if what I've read sounds like what he has going on!!! Idk if it's contagious to humans or what. Idk how it would be passed on but it says that it can take up to a year for an infected chicken to show signs! All my chickens were raised together! Ugh! Help!
