Our 17 week old RIR Roo lost his crow about a week ago. And then two days ago I noticed his breathing labored and wheezing. Today his comb has drastically darkened to a deep purple. He is separating himself from the flock and stretching his neck out with each breath. It seems to be getting worse. I’ve put the antibiotic Vetramycin in the water and given him an intramuscular injection of the same antibiotic this morning. Any tips?? Anything else I can do? I’m so worried he’s going to die. He’s my favorite, such a good gentle boy. 😢

Hello! How are his poops? I would dose with corid, he's young enough to have coccidiosis.
I just noticed that his poops are very runny, running down his backside. None of the other chickens (10) are showing any symptoms.
