Question

[LeComptes01]

I have a rooster, I’ve had him for about week. Love him so much. We got new hens last night but today my husband noticed that he hasn’t crowed and his is swollen a little, when I clean it I see bubbles and yellow goo coming out. Need help please

Is there any way you could post a photo?

What breed (or even size) is he?

And how old is he?

Don't worry, we'll get him through this!

 

[LeComptes01]

He’s a slicky, we got him at an auction

 

[LeComptes01]

Here’s his size

Uh, how long was he quarantined after you got him from any existing birds? That doesn't look good at all.

 

[LeComptes01]

We didn’t, he and a few others are our first ever chickens

 

[LeComptes01]

He’s the only one with that. I was thinking that maybe he poked from a female?

Ok, that relieving. Truthfully, if he were mine, I'd cull him and burn/bury his body and pray that whatever disease he has didn't spread to the others. Theres a good chance he has mycoplasma. But maybe others can provide more hopeful suggestions.

He wasn’t like that yesterday, that’s what confusing

Does his other eye look like that?
