Sick roo

[zodiac440]

Ive gpt a 6 month old. Seabright bantam hes not crowed alot as of late and today he has been laying around instead of walking around like usual amd my wife said he feels like he hasnt been eating any help will be greatly apreciated

Does he have any symptoms of a respiratory disease such as watery or sticky eyes, nasal drainage, swelling around an eye or the face, cough/sneeze, or chest rattles? Does he have any gasping, silent or noisy? How are his poops? Does he have any leg weakness? Has he been wormed recently? Have you added any new birds lately?

My wife said she brought him inside and he is eating and drinking but she said worms are the most likely possibilty whats a good de wormer and wheres the best places to get it

Valbazen is the best getting all chicken worms, SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer is very good but doesn't get tapeworm which most chickens don't have. Either are 1/4 ml by mouth, then repeat in 10 days. Most farms stores carry them or you can find them online. http://www.jefferspet.com/products/safeguard-dewormer-goats-125ml

So sorry for your loss. Was it sour crop?

Sorry for your loss. He was a little older for coccidiosis, but he still could have had it with the way he looked in the picture. I would watch the others for symptoms. Did he have diarrhea or blood in his poops? In many cases of cocci, there will be a puffy crop or crawl.

It was impacted craw from what we could tell he had stoped crowing but was still cery active then yeaterday became lethargic and lost color in his comb then it turned purple this is the 2nd bird weve lost the first was a red star that got egg bound back in june me any my wife are both pretty discouraged. Thinkin about sellin off our flock all together
