Possible impacted crop or gizzard issue? Not sure... Please help!

[Chickiee]

First, thank you CedarAcres and Kathy for all your help in this. I really do appreciate your messages and wouldn't know what to do with Rosie if it weren't for you.

I did check the poop chart and would catagorize yesterday's stools as watery. No question about it. (And I am in the category of not having any idea of what I'm looking at. ) I have not seen him poop yet today unless it was in the coop before I opened their hatch. Could his bottom be getting sore? This has been going on for awhile. Perhaps I should wash it with a warm water papertowel. I don't want to give him a full bath because it's so cold these days.

On a positive note, he was one of the first ones out of the coop this morning and jumped with a steady landing from the ramp to the ground from about a foot off the ground (as opposed to walking the ramp all the way down). When I put him in his "garage isolation pen", he took right to the feed and took a sip of water. Wasn't piggy, but still ate something. BUT, 10 minutes later he was standing with closed eyes not even looking at me when I'm talking to him or rotating food dishes out of the pen. Do you think I should give him something other than feed? I have leftover grits from breakfast, or I can make him a scrambled egg. Maybe he would like some grass of dandelion leaves from outside?
Thanks!

I'm not sure what to do with Rosie. I gave him the antibiotics. I think it was 6 or 7 days. My husband doesn't want him in the garage anymore because he's smelly (actually it's his poops that have an extremely foul odor). Rosie tries to stay with the flock, but then stops, tucks his neck and closes his eyes. He is very bony in the chest/tummy area where I usually pet them. His eyes for the last week have looked like he's not quite seeing straight or like his eyes are a little "off". I tried to feed him scrambled egg this morning and he had a few bites and then tucked his neck and closed his eyes while standing in front of the food dish. This is the first time he's not gobbling at egg. I'm having a hard time watching this. This has been going on for weeks now. If anyone has any other suggestions, pleeeease tell me now. I think we may need to put him down as he's not improving. I obviously hate that it would come to this, but he's not happy and I don't want him to suffer. With weather getting colder, he's only going to have a rougher time. If this is what we need to do, what is the most humane way? ;'(
