Our 4-year-old Brahma rooster got sick and we kept him alone in the barn for a month. He had a respiratory infection and mites, which have been gone for a while and he’s put on weight.
He was eating and drinking normally and started crowing in the mornings, so we put him back with our flock. Our silkie rooster attacked him after a few minutes and instead of fighting he ran and hid. He used to be the alpha.
So the last two days he’s just sitting around kind of hiding and won’t go in the coop by himself at night. He won’t interact with the hens. He seems depressed. I’m not sure what to do.
