Hello!
My almost 3-year-old Buff Orpington rooster is acting different, and I noticed that his comb looks floppy as well as purply/gray in some spots. There has been a sudden temperature drop in my area so maybe that is why, (it is now getting down to 18 degrees at night and around 35 during the day.) They have a heat lamp in their coop and have free access to go in the coop and out to the pasture. Today when I went out, I noticed that he was standing off to the side of the hens while I gave them scraps and did not seem interested. His head was kind of pushed down in his neck and I could tell something was off. I will add some pictures of him and his comb. He has never had any health problems, and he is my only rooster. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
