Under the weather rooster

[Denise1015]

hello!

one of my roosters is under the weather.. he is 3 years old. He has been dealing with mites, his feet are misshaped. He has been treated multiple times. He lost feathers on his chest.. anyway, he eats but not much. He drinks a lot of water. Last night he could not roost and tonight he is laying under roost. His crop appears to be a bit smaller than normal. Any ideas?
Thank you!

He's been dealing with mites - on the body or Scaly Leg mites?
How are you treating the mites?
Any lesions or scab on the bottom of the feet?

He's drinking a lot of water, is his crop emptying overnight? If it's not, then I'd address that symptom according to the article below.

What's his poop like? If possible, take a sample to your vet for a fecal float to see if he needs deworming.
