It sounds like your cockerel has an impacted or sour crop.
Please give this article a read and start treating him.
 
thanks for helping
You're welcome.
Crop issues can be stubborn. I'd get right on it. You will want to keep him isolated in a large dog crate in the coop with just water.
Read that article carefully and try to determine the source of the crop issue. You need to get it cleared.
Good luck and please report back on what you find and how you proceed with treatment based on the recommendations in the article.

i tried and the treatment is not working 😥😥😥😥😥
What treatment did you try and what does his crop feel like?
Usually a crop issue does not resolve in 24hours, you need to treat daily.
Keep him hydrated for sure.

Photos of the cockerel and of his poop may also be helpful.
What are you feeding?
