Super Pale Faced Rooster

[Madi131]

I just got a new frizzled rooster from a lady I've known for a while. When I got him, he was bright red. He was living with 17 other roosters before he moved here - I havent heard him crow once. Yesterday I noticed he was starting to look a little pale in the face, and today well hes almost white. His comb and waddles still have color but his face does not.
The first 3 days he was here he didnt know how to use the waterer, and became dehydrated. I simce then have added a new waterer and made sure he did know how to drunk out of it. Could this be from that? this is the day we got him.

This is today's pictures. He has a little more color than the picture shows on his waddles. It's still early here and super foggy out.

I'm not an expert but my rooster gets overheated easily when they run out of water maybe that's what is was

It may well be stress related. Dehydration and feed deprivation especially in high temperatures can cause permanent damage.

Hes asleep now, with his head tucked under his wing. You dont think hes sick do you? It wasnt extremely hot, its actually been a bit cooler here lately the highs were high 70s. I just got done tubefeeding my girl Sharron for over a month because she caught a cold. I try to take the best care of my chickens I can, I just figured he would know how to use the nipple waterer, as all the other birds do and he did not, and I had surgery so I didnt actually realize until I came out to check on them when I was feeling better.

Thank you as well. I've been doing it for almost 2 years now but it's my first time with seramas. It's always something else wrong with the birds lol
