Wheezinf rooster...I/m worried

[FarmerFred]

Ok. We have had our rooster for 2 years now; he was a stray someone dropped off. We FINALLY got him some hens last weekend and now he is wheezing, not crowing, and staying in one spot. I have read some other posts on here and think he may have a respiratory infection or something. Any ideas? Thanks.

you always seperate your birds until you know they are healthy!!!!!!! I had this a while back and there is product called auramacine (SPELL) and its great. I will find the exact name but its a powder that comes in a small pack.

Yeah, I have now read that you introduce new ones slowly. We sure did it backwards. Thanks for the advice on the auramacine. I will check into it.

What is the auramacine? An antibiotic?

I know i misspeled it horribly haha but i get it from TSC and it states on the package what its for. Ok here is the actual spelling AUREOMYCIN!!!

Thanks! We have Rural King around here. I will check and see if they carry it.
