It may be from him standing out in the rain, but puck-my rooster- seems to be very drained. He isn't crowing and he sneezes and wheezes. He seems to be eating and drinking ok, but he now lays around most of the day. Can chickens get colds? how can I help him? (Probably no chicken soup) and can my girls catch it? His comb and color seem to be fine, no change in that either.
Yes, they can catch a cold, and it sounds like he has a touch of one. Try giving him some vitamins/electrolytes in his waterfor a few days along with some scrambled egg (protein)and see if he improves. If not, then you may need to treat him with some Duramycin (anitibiotic). The rain may have been just enough to give him that cold.
