Rooster not eating

[Shelly123456]

I got a rooster who just stopped eating and his comb has shrunk a bit as well. This happened when I introduce 2 hens into the flock. Before then, he was a really good eater. What should I do?

Does he have any other symptoms? How does his poo look?

He doesn't have any symptoms and his poo looks quite normal.

Could he be starting to molt? Do you have any pictures? What is his age?

i Don’t think he’s molting and he is about 1 year old. Here is a photo of him.

I would watch his behavior with the hens, to see if they are keeping him from eating and drinking or bullying him. Are they bantams as well? How do his droppings look? Have you wormed your chickens recently? When I try to get one to eat better, I will offer some scrambled egg, tuna, or salmon, but they should also eat chickens feed.
