Morning!!

I woke up this morning to a sick rooster. He didn’t come out of the coop with his girls and was just laying down inside. I brought him outside and he stood for a little bit, walked a few steps, and then laid down. I set up a cage and isolated him.
His comb is limp and dull
His crop feels fine
I saw one poop that shot out as a creamy white watery stream
He’s not crowing
I’ve given him 3cc of Poultry Cell

What should I look for??

Does he appear to have some discoloration of his comb, possibly from frostbite? How cold have your recent temps been? Is his crop emptying overnight? It should be empty first thing in the morning before he eats or drinks. Can you get him drinking some fluids, and offer some wet chicken feed and bits of scrambled egg?

He did have a bit of frostbite from single digit temps about a month ago. Temps for the last few weeks have been 50’s at night, high 70’s during the day. His crop feels fine. I’ve got acv water in the pen with him and saw him drink a tiny bit. Haven’t offered food yet.
