I know he's sick. He's being treated. I rescued him. He has everything wrong under the sun. I'm doing all the things.to help him. His wattles had no color just pale purple so he's already doing better. I couldn't find his vent his entire back side cover in poop. I had to bathe him. Trying to get the dried poop off his vent was pulling the skin off. He had regular mites, scaley leg mites, rotten toe nails, respiratory issues. He's been to the vet and is on antibiotics and anti inflammatory meds.

Is he a bantam or large fowl? To me I'm seeing a Bantam Orpington mix. He's mixed variety and is chocolate. Where was he from?
Somebody local couldn't take care of her flock anymore. The closer i inspected the more obvious that was. Six hens one roo. Almost all the chickens had bumble foot with a kernel. I still have to perform those surgeries. I had to bathe everybody. And they're on denegard because I'm pretty sure they are sneezing some of them have a little bit of a swollen ring around their eye. He standard size but malnourished He only weighs 5 lb in the vet said that's not good at all. But now he's eating and drinking. He is such a good boy. Definitely giving me a little bit more resistance with the meds. I guess that means he's getting better lol. He's about 2 years old maybe a little older.
 
You are doing a wonderful thing! I am so glad you were anle to rescue him and the hens! He looks like a orpington mix, keep doing what your doing and hopefully they will be better in no time!
