Hey there,
I have an approximately 20m old rhode island red rooster that we raised from a day old. He generally has a very big and beautiful red comb, however, the past 2 weeks i've noticed the comb turning slightly white and scabby, and it is flopped over a bit. Now today when i got home i see the back starting to turn a purplish color although it's very hard to see. Very worried about him but he seems to be just as energetic as ever and i do hear him crow in the mornings, he eats etc. - so nothing out of the ordinary.
Please help, I have no idea what to do! He lives with 2 chicks and is hard to catch so i'm not sure how realistic it would be to separate him from the flock for treatments.
