I have a Serama cockerel that has been lethargic for a few days and will not eat or drink on his own. I can get water in him but he will not eat. He has been treated for cocci about 3 4 weeks ago. This is a picture of his poop this morning and I was hoping someone can tell what it might be by looking at it. Thank you

hi, thanks for the pic.
my chicken does that sometimes, if its happening to every poop she does take her to the vet, but if she has only done one, its problay just clearing its gut

This is how it's been looking since yesterday. He looks at me like he's drunk and flops all over. I found him upside down this morning
 
Have you tried mixing and feeding some chicken feed with a lot of water and some chopped egg? How does the crop feel?
Crop is empty today but when I brought him in yesterday I made him eggs with chick feed and some Nutri drench. He did try to eat that but only took one bite. He hasn't tried to eat since
 
Do you have a picture? That sounds like possible wry neck. It sounds like he would be better off seeing a vet. Have you had him vaccinated for Mareks disease, or have you ever seen any birds with Mareks before? I also would have his poop sample checked by the vet as well for parasites, in case he has had a relapse.

Let me get a picture for you. No he has not been vaccinated yet.

I don't think it's rye neck but I'm not a vet and have seen that before. Here is a picture.
