Rooster with a bum rash,acting mushy and sick.

How many feeders do you have? Are they not letting him to the feeders so all he is able to get to is water?

 

[MysteryChicken]

No they actually are pretty nice to each other.

Were the other birds Quarantined before introduction?

No.When the other chickens were teenagers they were put in a brooder in the chicken run . Eventually they where able to roam in the run with the chickens,and after that they slept in the coop with the older chickens.

So, were they purchased as juveniles?

We have three rubber bowls and 48 chickens in total but we make small piles of grain on the floor when its feeding time.We also free range

They where delivered to us when they were 2 days old.

Okay, then I don't think they brought a Disease into the flock then.

Our rooster (Tank) . Has been acting weird lately ,like: his neck feathers is fluffed up ,His bum has some rashes,and his poop is comeing out like clear liqued acting sick and mushy and refuses to forage or eat . Is there any way I can help him? I tried washing his bum with warm water and separated him from the others.

How old is he?
Photos of all of him and his poop may help too.
You mention he refuses to eat or forage - so does that mean he's laying down all the time - can he walk or stand up?
Where are you located in the world?
How many of the 48 chickens are roosters?
What do you feed - you mention grain in small piles on the floor - is that in a coop, outside in a run or ?
Any feed getting wet or moldy?

I would check his crop in the morning to make sure it's emptying.
The scabs on the bum may be from picking. I would put a little triple antibiotic ointment on those to see if that makes a difference.
