stevo79 569 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 It could be Microplasma has it got any discharge coming from his beak? Or possibly worms or even possibly canker there's a list if things it could be! Is he coughing or making any funny noises?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hunter1 63 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 He has made like a coughing sound a couple of times . He looks ok eating and drinking cheers stevo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoChara 1,632 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Wish all mine would stop crowing they're driving me nuts ! Seriously tho first rooster I had was a late crower so when he did start we payed attention to time etc his was mostly morning and when a hen layed. Now he stopped crowing but can't mind him coughing but he did die about 2 weeks later not sure what it was. Rip rooster cogburn! But fingers crossed yours is alright.

MoChara 1,632 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Also forgot to add. The days leading up to him dying he was all puffed out like a ball of feathers and WAS eating and drinking as usual Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stevo79 569 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hi mate, it's hard to tell really, but all puffed up it could be cocciosis they look a bit like that, all puffed up just standing there. But without seeing him it's really hard to tell. We're all the other birds ok? Was his vent soiled? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hunter1 63 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hens all laying .Cockrel looks fine . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoChara 1,632 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 No all others fine although had 2 go similar a year before. All seemed fine then just dropped vents clean and normal everything else. Boogled my mind to be honest Thanks, Nicole Quote Link to post Share on other sites
