Sick rooster ?!!

[pefferlawchicken]

Hey everyone

For the past 2 days or so my year old buckeye rooster has been acting
Strange, he won't roost at night he just sleeps in the nesting box. He hasn't been
Crowing or mating , he mostly stands around all day looking wobley or very tired.I'm
Not sure but I think he may be molting there are spots on his chest and underwing where
Feathers have been plucked out . Any help would be great.

Sorry for any spelling mistakes updating from my iphone

I've had some do this. There are alot of unanswered questions. Will he eat if you offer food? Have you checked for mites? That is what I would do. 1st check him for mites. Dust him if need be. Then cook him up some oats with egg yolk and garlic in it. Offer him water with ACV in it. Hope this helps..

checked for mites no mites , He eats when hes hungry drinks when hes thirsty , eats when i give him bread or vegtables, i have electrolytes in the water now, im just wondering , does this happen during molting? he seems a little thin and hes deffently loosing and pulling out feathers. he seems vey tired or wobley

I wish I had an answer for you, but I'm new to this. I would like to hear if it's normal for chickens to act different during moulting too.....

Good luck!

Is his poop normal? He could be wormy. Or it could be something worse. Hopefully not. The vitamins are a good idea. Try extra protein too... I hope he gets better..

his poops are now runny , they are brownish green and he has discharger from his nose , could it be just a cold?
