The purple comb is not really an emergency or illness always. Several of my roosters get purple combs but they all change color to red again. Is your roosters comb red again now? It is good news he is acting normal. But maybe we can figure out why your other chickens died and prevent this one from dying. Do you know why the others died?


What do you feed him? Does he free range or is he caged?
Is his crop full at night?
What does the crop feel like when he goes to bed, is the texture hard or soft? Watery or dry?
Is his crop empty in the morning?

You mention you needed to clean out the nostrils. Does he have mucous in his nostrils, any lesions or yellow pasty material inside his beak, coughing/sneezing?

If possible, can you take a sample of his poop to your vet for testing of worms?
Is his crop emptying overnight?

Not sure what's going on with him, if he's moving about eating/drinking and mating, then I'm just not sure.
I understand you are concerned. Can you get a video of his actions so we can see more of what's concerning you? For video, upload to youtube or similar platform, then provide us a link.

I'm not seeing anything that sets off alarms with me. His comb is a good color and he looks alert. I've lost roosters to heart/respiratory problems before due to Marek's and trust me, when they say those combs and wattles turn blue, they turn BLUE to the point that they are almost black.

We want to help you, we just need a bit more to go on, pls?

a picture would be nice, it could be a mixed breed possibly? Did it turn purple or was it purple for it all? Some chickens just have other colored features, of course, nonetheless, it could be a problem.

I feed him the Purina pellets from Tractor Supply I haven't lost a chicken yet or rooster I mean I lost those babies that we're like two days old and he was the only one that survived out of the four that I got from Tractor Supply right now I'm going to insert a video to you and it'll let you know what his cone looks like now his crop I've I really honestly I've never noticed if it was hard or softer cuz he's never had a problem he's eating drinking it does sometimes get red again but for the most part it's it's a purple color and last night it was blue and it was like he couldn't stand up he was falling right to left and I won't insert another photo that I'll just take nail so you guys can see the color of his cone while he's asleep I've been taking pictures and videos all day if I can sneak up on him without waking him up I'll try to get his breathing and let you guys see if it may be something I should worry about thank you all for the help I'm new to chickens but I'm in it for the Long Haul

Looking fine to me, that looks more of a dark red. If he was falling right to left that may be a issue, is there any other symptoms? Id seperate him from the other chickens though. theres many things you should try,
maybe gently massage his crop a bit. Is he eating/drinking well?

 

[Coops Dad]

If you mean that he takes long breaths in and out as he's sleeping, that's 100% normal.
