Do you have any local vets around that do chickens?If not,I suggest just giving him Probiotics.....just see what happens after.

What do you feed him?

Is his comb always purple?He may be a leghorn....

 

[Chuzubabyy]

Yes yes, he's leghorn, and i feed him with tomato, onions and all the vegetables
And no vet actually this is why i signed up here am so worried, people kept saying he might die? So I'm really worried, probiotic? what is it ? And does it have any side effects ? And it gets back to normal too but it gets purple a lot
Also he can't bend his neck down to eat

 

[LoveThemBirds]

Feel his crop.


Probiotics is a medicine.It helps digest and other things.


Right after this occured.did you feed him potatoes?

Sorry to hear that, my dad had a rooster that just died and one of the first things he did was stopped crowing.

A purple comb is indicative of a heart/circulation problem...I'm sorry, but it doesn't sound good.

I wonder if he's a meat chicken (Cornish Cross).....
.....is he slim bodied or very wide with thick legs?
Can you post a pic?

Meat chickens gain weight very fast and are meant to be eaten at 8-12 weeks old....
....if they get older they can easily have health issues like heart and leg problems.

He's very ill, like aart said; a heart or respiratory problem. He needs a vet visit, if possible. If he's got a 'snotty' nose, swollen eyelids, or signs of infection, maybe antibiotics would help. Any other sick birds in your flock? He sounds miserable! Mary

 

[Chuzubabyy]

Yes i tried to feed him with potato but he didn't eat, he's only eating millet, I think there's a problem with his Neck he cannot bend it

 

[Chuzubabyy]

aart this is making me so sad, could this mean he's getting older? And yes you can check in my album I'll just take a picture and post it, but i can't let him go he's only one year & four months younger

 

[Chuzubabyy]

Chicky1016 Oh god, that's so sad and I'm already crying cause he hasn't been crowing since one week
