Sorry this post is a long one.
So to start off about 3 weeks ago I noticed my bantam rooster just standing in the corner of his pen not doing anything and looking lethargic. He is normally out running around with his lady’s and very lively. His comb and wattles were very pale and he was closing his eyes. I also noticed he was making a clicking noise while breathing. I brought him inside and set up a cage for him. None of my other chickens were showing symptoms or have since shown symptoms. While inside his breathing got worse, clicking and wheezing so I assumed something respiratory. I started to use vet rx in his food and on his body. I even did a sort of humidifier with vet rx in the room to see if that would help. I did this for a week and a half with no results. I mixed him special food everyday, always had clean water, continuously cleaned his cage, and dewormed him. I checked for mites, lice and all over in his mouth. His poop looks perfectly healthy each and every time with no sort of parasites. It is the end of 3 weeks now and all he wants to do is sit down in his cage and eat a little bit of food. He does not want to drink water so I wet his food. He has shown little to no improvement so I am at a loss of what to do ?
