@Qwerty3159 could it possibly be cocci? I think the full name is coccidiosis. Although when mine had it, it was lethargic. Has there been any reddish tint in its droppings? Aka blood.

I thought about that too. Even if there's no obvious blood it wouldn't hurt to give a 5 day treatment with amprolium in the water if he's drinking.

Edit sorry, i missed the last post by @Qwerty3159 .

He did end up eating which seems like a good sign.
I think I'll continue to give him the 4 in 1 for the recommended time and hope for the best.

I think that is the best option. I often give my birds 4in1 treatment when I don't have the slightest clue what could be going on. Good luck!

Great news yall! I'm getting the old chicken coop. We added skids to it, so now it can be moved. The inside is 7×8. I'm going to divide it in 2, one for racers, and one for whites. Each section will be 4×7 which should be good for flyers. It's going to require some repairs, including adding trap doors and ventilation. Will also need to add some perches. What type would y'all do? It's nothing fancy, but will work. I'll post a pic later. It's on a different device. It also has a cute little front porch.

So the top 'loft' over the porch will be where I add the trap doors. It then will go into a wire holding cage so I can choose which pigeons can fly, and which ones shouldnt. So if some are on eggs, or aren't homeset I will hold them back.

@Pyxis I Forgot if you already have these, or will be getting these?
