Hello all,
I just lost one of two roosters yesterday to unknown causes. He had been receiving treatment for internal parasites, but was showing signs of a recovery and still maintaining normal behavior. After finding him dead though, his nose drained a bit of greenish fluid, so wondering if could have been an impacted crop? He did have a bit of a bump where he crop is, but had been normal for him since youth, although both Roos are only 6 months old.
The other rooster seems to be acting fine and eating, drinking normally, feisty as ever. However I noticed a couple small black spots on his comb, with what seems to be a sort of powdery dust. One of the bald patches on his check also looks white-ish but had just assumed it was dry skin. Was curious if this could be early dry pox? Will attach a picture for reference.
Thank you!
