Rooster's nose is bad, real bad. What to do?

He looks great. Glad he is doing better.

I am glad you are keeping a good eye on him. I hope you are able to get the problem cured.

Had to dig out his nose a little bit more today but it does seem to be improving, slowly.

I tell you what, I don't know if it's coincidence or what but he is in full blow LOOK AT ME mode now. He's strutting and calling and attempting (failing lol) to mate.

Here's a quick vid of a quick strut I got today. That' game hen is one of the girls he tries to mate with so I guess he's just showing off. The others won't let him but I'm sure that will change in time.

He's trying. Poor guy after what he's been through he needs some "relief"

Poor buddy can't get it right! My frizzle does that too except he pecks her neck, she sits down, he grabs her neck and gets on, and he literally just sits there. He has no clue what to do! longest he's just sat on her is 2 minutes!

You may want to take out the bigger rooster to let him gain his pecking order place back from being sick.

A little update:

Well I had to clean out his nose again today. One the better side we pulled out a huge amount and for the first time it looked as if it was all out. When I put the Banixx in it he was blowing out his nose as he breathed. That was the first time that has ever happened so I am encourage a bit. The other side still has some deep inside that we just can't get out without hurting him. Hopefully it will eventually come out like the other side. I have been putting neosporin and now Banixx in there for two weeks so I don't know if it's helping, what works exactly. It's still swollen and the stuff we get out is the same, hard on the outside, yellow and smelly on the inside. Man what a hassle this has been.

p.s it's been raining for two days with more rain so that doesn't help either. Argh

If it's really smelly in a sweet kind of way, it might be Coryza.

How is he now?
