Rooster not acting normal for about a week. Lethargic, fluffed, away from flock, stands still, or just lays down. Bubblefoot??? Please help!

I'm not sure exactly but it gets really hot

Eek I would turn it off for a bit if he feels too hot

Have you checked his feet for dark spots ?

 

[Bluesamantha26]

Is there any swelling in his joints anywhere?

 

[ChickenTender1203]

He laid back down but at least he's eating something again. Thank you @Wyorp Rock and @Bluesamantha26

He has bumblefoot on that leg and it looks like it might be swollen a bit right there

I'm going to wait till he is done eating I dont want to make him stop

If you are absolutely sure it is bumble foot I would call your local vet and ask for erythromycin or penicillin immediately and possibly Meloxicam for pain and inflammation. Explain his state and hopefully they are able to give the prescription without a visit. But again only if you are sure that is what it is I am not a vet and I'm only speaking from my own experience and what I would do in this situation. Please keep me updated on how this sweet beautiful boy is doing.
