My cochin roo is really sick it happend over night. Anyone have have any ideas I'm having a hard time figuring what all is wrong. He's not going potty he can't walk and feels thin.
What could it be? Do you think it's worms? He's been acting like this since friday Am.

I could be worms. There is not enough info to really tell. Is he eating?

I just gave him some horse Ivermectn cuz I don't have any cattle (I've used it on cavies). I have an egg boiling for him right now.

He also had what looked like white spit on his wattles when I went out to give him water.

Could he have a sour crop ? Or impacted crop? Nystatin is the medication for an over growth of yeast in the crop.

Ivermectin/Ivomec won't tackle worms in chickens - you have to use Wazine / piperazine or another poultry wormer. Ivermectin's great for lice and mites, though, which are also bloodsuckers that can cause anemia.
