Yes I was thinking the AC made it too cool for him in my room since it is summer. I keep it at 65 at night, I can't sleep otherwise. I cut my AC off every morning though so he and our squirrel babies could be warm while I'm at school. I was guessing a respiratory infection of sorts, but said cold to make it shorter, similar symptoms.
He was fine otherwise after the kick. She really just tossed him, he's so light that even with the force of a running horse after him, her leg basically picked him up, making him hit her stomach, then he rolled away. It dislocated his knee, which I wasn't able to tell real well till after he passed since he kept his leg stiff. He was still able to move it, but was slow doing it, and didn't use it. A day or two before passing he was almost walking. Then it just all went downhill.
You see, we bought him fully healthy. He was a purebred Orpington, the only crossing was that his sire was a Lavender and dam was a Black. Both were huge regular sized chickens. We bought him as a 3 month old. He grew about 3 or 4 inches, but that was it. He never grew much muscle mass, and couldn't fly at all. Never had any meat on his bones. He looked like he was starved, but the little Turkey head ate more than our others in proportion to body size. We have a small Bantam size hen who is a bit smaller than he was and she weighs more than he did. The only thing I can think of that happened traumatic was that (without my permission) my mom let him out with the big hens (our Alpha sex link hen and our docile Orpington) who were both 3 times his size and the alpha pecked him. She only hit his nose, just below his eyes, though. I remember the scar. That's when he began to slow in growth.
I separated him for 4 weeks and gave him a free amount of food and water. Nothing helped.
He hasn't been outside since the kick.
