I just got my rooster back from some neighbors who took it illegally to try to breed it for cockfighting. This rooster has already had a pretty hard life, he has had a heart attack that has probably left him with slight brain damage and has gotten his whole back plucked by a few of the other roosters. He found a hen and has tried creating a nest for her, but both him and the hen he is with have been showing stress symptoms. Does anyone have any idea why this might be?
 
I did, he did not start showing any stress until about a week after being pit back in with the rest after quarantine
 
He has runny feces, he is constantly grooming himyself, he's pacing, and holding his beak slightly open. Right now, he is building a nest with the hen. The hen seems to be doing better now though.
