Please Help, what's wrong with my rooster?

Red, you are such a sweetheart.  

Yes he is

Nope, I doubt it is pox since you don't have mosquitoes this time of year. I would agree with the person who said it was frostbite, and he may have been pecked or injured the comb. It will probably heal up with some rounded tips eventually. He looks pale or grayish in his picture. I would warm him up, and give him vitamins with electrolytes, add some water to a small amount of his feed, and feed him some extra protein from chopped egg, tuna, or some liver. Poultry Nutri-Drench or Poultry Cell tonics from the feed store would be a good vitamin/electrolyte--the sodage is 3 ml daily by mouth.

Okay I'm going to give him extra vitamins and electrolytes but he's still having a hard time breathing and not crowing Thankyou

I'm sorry, this is the first I've heard he is having breathing trouble & crowing. I would probably recommend the same meds as what Eggcessive recommended & to separate him & bring him in somewhere warmer, but not hot. Sounds like he has something respitory going on in addition to his comb troubles. Best of luck

You might try to post on the disease, illness & injury thread. Someone there might know something I don't

have you looked inside his mouth . check for gape worms . I have never seen them so not sure what to look for but have been told they are visible.

Yes I checked his mouth/throat it all looks normal , I gave him another injection and also gave him some VetRx I feel so bad for him, I also cleaned his comb off and applied ointment

Is he making movement like he is crowing without the noise ? If so check his crop, see if its hard first thing in the am before he eats.
