your rooster looks like my rooster, and he is not as active as he was, i'm thinking he is not feeling well. I came home this evening and he was roosting with the other chickens then as I was bring the ducks in he decided to just jump in the pond... I pulled him out and now he is isolated in the garage, not sure what is going on, if he is depress or sick. Any thoughts?
Can you start your own thread in the ER forums.
He went out in the pen today but didn’t come back in the coop at night. I put him back in the coop as it was cold out. I am pretty worried now. I have a really bad feeling about him. I don’t know what’s wrong and I want to know.
that's good to know, but their coop is very well ventilated.. by the way how old is old?
maybe try to isolate him and make sure there is vitamins in his water, food, I am not familiar with chicken yet, but I understand using oregano and garlic is some kind of a holistic antibiotic ( no one has given me an opnion about this) but definitely keep temperature at bay since because change of temperature will put them at stress. i hope everything will go well with the rooster. leaving the pen is their way to isolation so they don't infect the flock.
When is the last time you dewormed him?
I have never dewormed any of my birds I have never had an issue before.
