Hi all,

We have a sick Coronation Sussex Rooster - he is gasping for air and his comb often turns blue. He sounds like fluid on lungs. He is otherwise fairly bright, still moving around scratching dirt and getting up on to the roost at night. He is only one sick in his pen so doesn’t seem contagious.

I have been medicating him with Tylosin and Alamycin initially as oral, then sc and now IM.

I would say he is stable but not improving at all. Worried that he is wasting away too cause of lack of appetite.

Any ideas or do we put him out if his suffering.
Thanks
 
Hi,

we’re in southern Australia - early spring. He’s not eating enough to get a full crop but is picking at fresh growth in paddock but not vigorouslyas his mates do.
He’s prob 18months old. video link attached.
 
Is the crop emptying completely overnight?

He may be suffering from a virus or molds as previously mentioned, if he's not responding to proper dosing of antibiotics.

Have you ever de-wormed him?
How much ventilation is in your coop?
