Rooster concern

[Henriej]

This is Jill from Henrie’s Hens & more to ask about our rooster & his swollen neck. Any ideas what it could be (caused from)?

It probably is- is that normal size or does it look abnormal? He was moving a little slow the first day we noticed it was enlarged- he may seem to be a little better now. Maybe still not as active though.

Welcome to BYC, Jill. Is he behaving normally, or does he appear to be in some distress?

Is there any possibility he has a neck injury? Is he eating and drinking normally?

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Check him first thing in the morning before he's had anything to eat or drink and see if it's not flat.
