Sick rooster???

[Mutchi]

Is my rooster sick? Symptoms:

1. Wings are all droopy and sad.

2. Hiding (he's normally out with that girls)

3. Not running as fast as normal(Maybe he's just getting used to me?)

Shaking (Maybe just scared?)

That's all the Symptoms that I know about for now I'll post pics tomorrow...(but here's a picture he looks pretty healthy right?) (Except for the fact he had a string around foot at the time today) is he sick because now that I thing about it, he is a acting a little weird...

Sounds scared. Better offer tlc as if he was sick, check to see if he's injured. Maybe offer electrolytes and do a perimeter check for predator scat or sick-looking chickie poo. Are the others acting normal?

I honestly do not know what is wrong with it. It is just when i look at the picture he looks very tired.

The rooster sleeps in the rafters of the coop. They are pretty dusty do you think I need to clean that?

Breathing is okay? dewormed them anytime?

I don't know but I save half of them from a abusive owner and got the rooster from humane society.

If he's hiding, he isn't feeling well. Catch him at night and listen to his breaths. Make sure they aren't gasping or wheezy. Check his eyes for bubbles and give him a solid look over for any wounds that may have gotten inclfecting, including toes. Those darn things can cause so much trouble so fast
