My rooster has become lathargic
His comb has become pale and has thickened within these 4 to 5 days
He is not interested in food much.. i thought it was an impacted crop and i even tried to clear it by massaging the crop...
He also vomited some watery material yesterday
Moreover he is breathing through his mouth .. but my second rooster also breath in the same way whereas he seems active...
But his stomach seems full always
He does'nt crow... and also his skin around his eyes is white instead of red
Please suggest me some possible solution for that as i love him like anything.. please
 
A photo will help us find some clues if you can post one of his white-rimmed eyes and comb.

It does sound as if he has crop issues. To treat an impacted crop and a sour crop (yeast infection), you need some meds. It's possible to have an impated crop and sour crop at the same time. I discuss how to recognize and treat these crop disorders here - https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/
 
His crop is also making some sounds like its acidity there
Sure I am going to show you his picture

Thanks for posting pics. That helps. He certainly appears not to be feeling well, but I can't come up with an explanation for the thick comb. Sometimes you will see that with very bad frostbite. Are his wattles thickening, also?

Are you going to begin treatment for impacted and sour crop? It's a good place to start.
 
Yes I M going to treat him with coconut oil..
I hope he will get okay with that
And his waddle does'nt seems to be thickened....
 
If he continues to have a full crop in the morning after the oil treatment, He will probably need the yeast treatment following that. Let us know how he does.

By stomach do u mean his crop(food pouch) how you determine impaction like e.g crop is hard like so tight things not moving ? Or squishy like full of water like a ballon


Gaping for air happens when accidentally some chicken become so full or eat so much and can't able to handle or something blocking their system

Briefly explain his condition what does he eat ?
