Sick Roosterwh

[familyfarm1]

He is a lot better today, eating and chasing those roos away from his ladies

He is such a great rooster. He looks out for hawks all day long, breaks up fights and lets the roosters know who's in charge with out hurting them. But I did notice that one of the hens poo is runny. Is that normal?

Sometimes runny poo is normal, can mean they have been drinking an increased amount of water, or consumed something with a high water content. I would only be concerned if they began exhibiting other symptoms.

Ok, thank you so much!

Sounds like he may have the beginnings of a respiratory disease such as aspergillosis, infectious bronchitis, MG, and others. His comb and wattles look as though they have some whitish powdery substance on them that could be favus, a fungus. If you think that may be the case, miconazole cream daily may help.

Ok, thank you. He seems to be much better. He flew out of the pen AGAIN today so I think he is on the road to recovery. Thank you all for your help.
