Hi...all help is appreciated. My wife went out today to let the chickens out of the coop and my favorite blue ameraucana roo was laying on the floor limp. His comb is purple and his face is a bright magenta (her words) and hes drooling. He can't hold his head up. He is just over a year old and eats purina layena plus. Fresh water daily.
 
Hopefully he is now OK. It sounds as if he is low on oxygen for some reason - possibly a heart attack. I would also have checked his throat for an obstruction that might be suffocating him.
