I have a 10yr old Silkie ""rooster "" that has swollen belly and his crop is completely empty like he hasn't eaten in a month. ( for over a week)He was still eating like he's starving but nothing seems to stay in his crop. He has a hard time getting around because his legs are spread so far apart due to his belly and he's very inactive. He's starting to eat very little now. I have no idea what to do because this is the first time I've seen this in a rooster. Every time I try to search for answers on line, the only thing that comes up is sour crop for HENS.
 
Is he pooping?
What's his diet?
Have you ever wormed?
At 10, he's well over 80 in chicken years, you may want to consider putting him down if there's no improvement.
