My Pretty Pekins
Songster
Hey,
We have a young cockerel (about 17 months) who is moulting and is rather raggedy around the neck and for some reason has over the past 2 days become very weak. He hardly crows, and has stopped calling for hens to come and get food, he eats it himself. He hardly has anything in his crop but no signs of visible injury. He's a pekin bantam and we'd be really sad if we lost him. He's been hiding in the coop not in the run and when I let the others out he didn't come.
Please help me discover what this is and some treatments ideas, if you have any questions I'll be very happy to answer!
