Unwell cockerel

[chiknGeek]

My cockerel is sick. Yesterday he seemed normal. This morning when I went to let them out, he was the last one out of the coop. He had his head scrunched down and his feathers fluffed up. No visible wounds. His crop felt empty. He would walk up to the feeder and waterer but didn't really eat or drink. Once when he did try to drink, it just seemed to drool back out of his mouth.

I have isolated him in the hospital coop. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Has he been vaccinated against mareks if not look for drunk wobbly looking symptoms maybe try give him some water with electrytes in it if he will drink it xxx

He was not vaxxed for Mareks. He is not having any balance problems, nor weakness in the legs. He seemed a bit better tonight and did jump up on the roost.
