My 3 almost 4 month old bantam roo just pooped yellow watery poop this morning.

I got concerned when his poops have a lot of white stuff surrounding his poop but there's one particular poop that concerned me... it's just chunk of white and clear yellowish poop that looks like he just recently pooped it and sure enough he pooped another and another chunky white and clear yellow poop.

So I touched his crop and its a bit bigger for just 3 dips of water so I suspect it can also be sour crop, but I'm not so sure about it since he doesn't smell and his crop just feel liquidy but i still massaged it downwards.

For context one of my bantam roo died 2 months ago from sour crop and white diarrhea that turned into yellow one similar today. I didn't catch the white diarrhea and only when it became into sour crop and then became yellow one I catch it but everything I did nothing worked maybe because I lacked experience and understanding of the situation that I lost my beloved roo... That's why I'm hoping this time will be different.

Continuing, he is lethargic but not pale and doesn't eat but drinks a lot. I also suspected coccidiosis cuz I treated one of my chicks from cocci in the past and notice the yellowish clear poop and one thing I didn't do for my roo that just died is treating him with cocci so for now I gave him amprolium in his water... it was very hot yesterday morning and heavy rain during the night.

No vets because all of them are general vet clinic and I'm still a student so I have no money unfortunately....

Plss helpp i don't want to lose my chicken again...

Oh and also the reason I highly suspect cocci is because one of the chicks i have to give to my neighbor today has bloody poop and i put them outside with their mother for over an hour and then bring them back inside.
 
You can treat the whole flock with corid. It won’t hurt them.
I see... thank you for responding. However, how about eating? Can he still go on just by only drinking? He keeps drinking so I'm a bit worried because before my roo died he keeps drinking a lot of water making his crop full of water (with acv) and after a few hours he died...
 
Does he also have fresh water in addition to the acv water normally? When treating with corid the ONLY source of water should be the corid water (I believe it’s 1.5 tsps per gallon). He needs to eat but you might have to try to get him to eat with scrambled egg, yogurt or something else special. I have never dealt with a crop issue but the corid won’t hurt while you wait for some other answers

No I was talking about my deceased roo on the acv one.

He only has corid water and a bit of fresh water (because i haven't changed the others water bowl yet). Scrambled egg would be tough because he doesn't eat eggs i don't know why, maybe I'll buy yogurt later. His original feed though is a mix of BEC crumble and stag developer.

I am only worried because their similarities of drinking too much water until their crop is full, and that didn't end well on the other one.

Welcome To BYC

Where are you located in the world?

What is BEC Crumble and Stag Developer? Can you get photos of the products and the labels?

What breed is your cockerel?

Do you provide Grit (Crushed Granite) for you birds?

Please post photos of your cockerel.

It won't hurt to treat with Amprolium (Corid). Dosing is below.

Drinking a lot of water, check his crop first thing in the morning before he's had anything to eat/drink to see if it's emptied. If it's not, let us know. Also post photos of his overnight droppings if possible.

Has he been dewormed?

Liquid Corid dose is 2tsp or Powdered Corid Dose is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water given for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.
Do not add any extra vitamins/electrolytes that contain B1(Thiamine) to food or water during the course of treatment.
