Our 4 year old White Leghorn rooster is lethargic, refusing to eat anything and has not crowed in days. His poop is watery yellow and green. His vent feathers were really dirty yesterday but we cleaned most of it off. Also he has some weird hardened yellow substance coming from his beak. I tried feeding him wet bread & eggs but he is refusing to eat it. He did peck at some scratch yesterday and today but barely ate any. I'm probably going to force something down him with a syringe tomorrow when I find/get one. Was walking around the yard today but laying around more. We gave him some corid in water which he drank a little bit of, not sure if it helps or not. However it's been really hot and I don't think it's enough. Any advice/tips would be much appreciated.
On a separate note: he does not live with the white leghorn hen I posted about with possible water belly/egg yolk perionitis so there's no spreading/infection between them as far as I'm aware
Also - the corn/grains in his poop are not part of his poop, it's just the scratch he spilled as I was taking pictures
