sick rooster

[txladydreamer]

I have a year old bantam rooster who is lethargic and his comb is turning dark. Can someone help me to care for him? Is there anything I can give him? NO new food or change in enviornment.

Is his crop empty or full, hard or soft?
Is he eating, drinking?

 

[txladydreamer]

No his crop is empty and he isn't eating. He sits like he's sleepy and he has green diarrerha and his comb is very dark instead of red.
Thanks!

gosh, I dont know how to help,
Do you have a vet around that will see chickens?

He died last night. I have another bantam dominique that comb is turning dark but he appears fine. I am going to start with Tylan in waterers until I know what is going on. I don't know anyone around here but Barry from the feathersite told me about the tylan.
I don't want to lose another rooster or my hens! I have trios of several breeds of bantams and I've never had sick chickens before. Thanks so much for trying to help!

I am so sorry about your roo.
How many other chickens do you have?

 

[txladydreamer]

Thanks so much. I have a few trios of bantams and about 50 different breeds of laying hens. I am watching them closely and hope it is not going to make any others sick.
Thanks so much,
