Sick rooster?

[Nbullinger]

Idk how to post a video here.. however

I went to put them to bed and he sounds like a pig snorting. He’s sneezing too. No one else is sick. He looks great but sounds awful

I brought him inside. I’ll continue trying to figure out how to send a video

Any signs of mucous, bubbles in the eyes, coughing, sneezing?
Have you ever had respiratory illness within your flock(s)?

I didn’t notice and mucus, he’s sneezing. There’s no illness in the flock aside from him. They did recently get into the compost bin

I'd check his crop first thing in the morning before he's had anything to eat/drink, make sure it's empty.

Is he pooping? Get some photos of his overnight poop.

Will do! He’s very alert right now so I’m hoping I caught it early whatever it could be

His comb is looking less colored now too

Handsome Fella!

How is he doing?

When did you last deworm and do you have antibiotics on hand?
Was his crop empty this morning?

Not sure what's going on with him, the poop is not great.

If he's declining, I'd definitely make sure the crop is emptying, deworm, treat for Coccidiosis and give an antibiotic.

He’s coming around! I gave him antibiotics yesterday afternoon and he’s showing improvement.

One things for sure… you don’t need an alarm clock when you have the rooster in the house

Glad that he is feeling better. Here is some info on checking his crop and a video below that (about at the 1 minute mark in the video:
