My husband came in the other day saying one of the roosters was sitting on the eggs in the nesting box and thought that weird, but he acted healthy. Today I went out and found him in the nesting box breathing hard and head tucked underneath him. I think he may die. His comb is a slightly different color than normal and his nose looks like it might be a little snotty. I put him in a sick and tried to him water with elecrolytes. Anyone else have suggestions of what else I should try!
 
I don't know what might be wrong with your rooster but yours is the third post I've read where a rooster was ill, in a nest box. They seem to go there for comfort of some sort, poor things. I hope yours makes it
