HI, a few days ago , I was cutting out lice eggs of my rooster bottom. I treated all my chickens several time for lice. So I had him upside down cutting them out, within probably 25sec or so,his body was moving in an odd way, I went to raise him up, he had turned all blue, he had brought up vomit out of his nose and mouth. I tried anything possible to try to save him, he basically suffocated. Has anybody have this experience. Would there been any way to have saved him. My daughter says that they can only breath out of there nose. I'm not sure if he was ok to start with, we've had him for two years, he tried to crow and it sounded horrible, he probably hasn't tried for over a year, he was very clumsy, I feel that he might have been a bit of to some level. The information that I read about roosters didn't match him much, he was a hog when it came to eating, he didn't share with the hens. He never called to them when there was food. He would sit like he wasn't always feeling well. He was a Cochin buff, beautiful rooster. I will miss him. I feel bad, its a since less death. I called a feed store, she told me that the powder would kill the eggs. If I knew that I wouldn't have bothered to cut them off. Now he is gone. Any answers would be great or ideas. Thanks Emily
