    Rooster lethargic - please help!!!!

    Hi there, My Silkie 2yr old rooster has been very lethargic this morning. I treated the flock with amperol these past 5 days, but found out my hen who was sick actually had a prolapsed vent and I think coccidiosis wasn’t the problem.

    Hen hasn't been eating

    One of my quails hasn't been eating for a few days, and now I realize she's a lot more passive than usual. I thought it was a temperature change because it got cooler for a few days and that's happened before, but it was so minor. She goes in the food bowl because it's habit and even gets...
