Hi All
Yes, I know he can't be egg bound, but that's how he's acting - like he's trying to pass a huge egg! He does this pathetic little peeping noise, wheezes a bit and strains. He's also standing with his little legs spread apart as he's straining. His backside is damp looking but not poopy looking. He's still doing his rooster duties and appears to be eating well.
This happened a few months ago, I suspected parasites and gave the flock a good dollop of pumpkin, and the symptoms seemed to clear up a bit.
Everyone else in the flock seems fine.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks....
Pat
