Rooster comb

Hi everyone!

I posted a question a few days ago about my 15 week old rooster (Kramer). He was outside today and he really looked blue. It was around 87 degrees today, I brought him in to see if the air conditioner would help him and it looks like it did some. I am concerned about this being a heart or lung issue…. But with such a quick response yo cool temp could it be anything else? He caught coccidia when he was about 4 weeks old and I gave my flock corid I had to treat the entire flock with poultry vitamins because after treatment he couldn’t walk. All the others were fine. I’m really stumped. He had a heart appetite and he is a good rooster. I don’t want him to fall out on me and find him in the coop . I posted pics so you can see what I am talking about. Is there any chance this might just be nothing?

Will someone please look at these pics? I put him back out with his flock because he was not happy inside and he went right back to blue.

I don't see a lot of difference except for the location and lighting.

IF it is a heart issue, then likely there's not much that can be done.
He's eating/drinking and active, a good boy. Just enjoy him.

Thank you for responding. I brought him in last night and put him near the AC vent. He pinked up again. He loves being with his flock and being outside. I can’t keep him in with me. I think he would be miserable.

I'd leave him with his flock and just monitor him.

It's hard on them moving them from warm to cool, it takes time to acclimate each time.
