Rooster waddles changed colors and low energy

[heritage honey farm]

Our rooster has been low energy, lost weight, and waddles have changed color from red to dull red.
Any ideas of what to look for?

You should give him more calcium and can you please tell me how old is he because if he is between 4 to 6 months it is common for them to change color as a part of growing

Please post some photos of your rooster and his poop.
How old is he and what do you feed?
How many roosters do you have?
Where are you located in the world?

Gather him up and inspect him carefully for lice/mites, injury and tell us what his crop feels like.

I would not give a rooster extra calcium, this is not something they typically need.

With more info and photos, hopefully we can offer some suggestions.
