Rooster sick and deteriorating rapidly

And no, don't add the garlic to the water you're using for the ACV-Baking Soda potion.

I don't know how the garlic will react on his system if taken after the potion, so I cannot recommend adding garlic to the water you offer in a bowl after he gets his first (or any) potion treatment. Garlic is great & I've used that too, but I haven't done the two things in combination.

I do know that the ACV-Baking Soda potion helps to stimulate the liver & pancreatic functions to expel toxins. I've taken it & given it to dogs, cats & chickens with good success.

Johnny is a beautiful boy. I hope he recovers from his illness. I think I would omit the fermented feed for now and provide him with a good all-flock or flock raiser crumble. Give him small amounts of mashed hard boiled egg to boost protein. Be careful not to over medicate/remedy without good cause.

Meanwhile, maybe @casportpony might have suggestions?

If you're worried he got into something toxic go to the pharmacy and look for something called char tabs they're just charcoal and they sell them for people gas. Break open a capsule and mix with a small amount of water and try to get it in him.

Current pictures of him and his poop are needed. A video as suggested earlier is also a good idea.

Keep giving fluids, that will help.

He is acting a little better but by no means back to normal
looks like the electrolytes and getting some water in him helped

Casportpony his body mass would be about a 2using the scale you posted helping someone else
I thought he was a lot bigger but he is all feathers

I cant think of what he may have gotten into
I have used this around the house sprayed a fire ant nest about a week ago

But think it may be good to give it to him just in case the worst it could do is bind to some vitamins minerals that are in the supplements and wont be able to medicate him until its out of his system

I'm thinking Moldy feed...

All the feed is good and dry
They were fed some bread from the freezer over the weekend that could possibly of had some mold on it
We don't eat it fast enough before it will go bad
so when it gets to the expiration date or we get a new loaf we either feed it as treats or just put in the freezer to feed out later as a treat

Probably easier to find a needle in a haystack but seeing I have a microscope I did make up some slides to check for worms etc. spent a hour looking only thing I could find that didn't look like poo looked like bacteria I could see them moving but not enough magnification to identify them

....worms are dead once expelled from an animal only long round worms live ...Spahgetti looking worms can live and are gross but treatable..

I'm going out on a limb here but maybe he ate an insect while foraging that had come in contact with the pesticide and still had it in its system. Perhaps the exposure via the insect was just enough to exhibit a few ill effects i.e the trouble navigating (smashing into the chicken wire) and gastrointestinal upset (the lack of appetite and runny poo) which I could easily see being acute poisoning, like a hangover. I don't know though, does anyone even know the effect of bifenthrin on poultry? Although the lack of other causes and quick recovery make's me think it could have some plausibility

 

[Chickassan]

I'm betting he ate something that got sprayed too. Poisoning makes stuff act drunk and birds are very susceptible to poison. Poor fella, glad he's doing a little better though.
