Cheers for the incredible feed back, sorry for the late reply. Am based in uk also decided to bring him in while the snow was about just to keep an eye on him. I noticed he's more himself with being interested in everything, still a huge appetite. He's deffinitly lice and mite free, just off his course of wormer and his underbelly feels normal no swelling or abnormal feeling. But still a pale face, comb and wattles. And still has his funny moments of being hunched up/sick looking one moment then walking round normal trying to eat my toe cuz it moved

But there you go, thank you guys again for the replies and suggestions I'll look into them with greater detail when I get back from work. I'll deffinitly send him off for a necropsy if he does pass but I think when his appitite fully stops I'll make the call on putting him down. Wanna give him a chance but not be silly with it.

Hi so my 3year old jersey giant rooster Shepard has been under the weather since October I've been taking him in and out of the vets, on multiple antibiotics.

Originally went in to the vets in October cuz his comb was purple/black and he was just stood in the doorway of his coop. The vet said his heart sounded fine and his breathing isn't an issue was most likely some infection. Through antibiotic and syringe tubing water managed to get him Back to normal.

Then late November he started turning again but this time his face, comb and wattle just went extremely pale and the uric acid in his poo was bright yellow. Now I wormed him in October and been worming him again since Saturday just to rule it out. the vets said again his heart and breathing is fine, no sign of external parisites or red mite in his coop. He used to have breaks throughout the day where he'd get a bite to eat then hunch up and rest for 30mins and continue. Now he'll just fine somewhere and hunch there.
I'm afraid to say he seems to be getting worse, he's completely food obsessed cottage cheese being number 1 on his list. Last night he was interested but ate a small amount then tucked his head under his wing, were as last week it would be gone in minutes. He is still eating and drinking just to say just in smaller amounts as the days go by. He's been on three sets of different antibiotics with no real help to symptoms.

I'll be ringing the vet again today but with his recent decline I'm grabbing at straws and thought I'd ask if anyone on here has any idea. I'll add some pictures of him down below aswell as a photo of his poop. One is a comparison to his son hatched last year, who looks the spit of him in his hay day.

Thank you very much for reading or answering in advance, if there's anything I've left out please let me know.

I'm studying veterinary and pale uric acid or only watery white poo is most likely
In CRD
Newcastle
Or Kidney Damage When High Protein In Diet

You should look for multivitamins and give him and also see how much protein he's getting
Try feeding low protein and look his poop for few days

Thank you for replying, unfortunately Shepard passed away a little bit ago. He fell to the floor in spasm and drifted off in my arms. Gonna put him in the freezer and look into having a necropsy done. just wanna thank everyone for there Input and help.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thanks for the condolences. Just an update with the necropsy status. I looked into it and im not gonna be able to afford it unfortunately plus had a lovely chat with the lady who would of done it and talked me through everything saying that because he'd of been on a lot of different antibiotics and how long it took for him to pass there was a high chance I wouldn't get the answers I was looking for. I thought with the price and there not being a 100% chance on an answer I didn't want to take the gamble. He's now buried with an apple tree sapling ontop on him so in some weird way he lives on.

What a nice gesture for Shepard.

It's good that you did speak with the lab and they were able to discuss this with you. Some states it's very expensive!
