Why is my rooster sad, not crowing, and has green watery poop?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Other | Unknown - Other | Male | unneutered

My rooster looks sad and just sits around or stands up with his eyes closed. He isn't scratching around for food, but he does eat and drink water when I offer him some. He hasn't mated or crowed for 2 days now. His droppings have been like neon green, and recently he's been dropping watery white poop. Please help

Separate him from the flock for now. Keep him warm and offer pellets mixed with warm water to make a mash or paste. A vitamin supplement for poultry would also be recommended. Submit a stool sample to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial/fungal overgrowth. If Andy doesn't improve within the next 24 hours, have him physically examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating domestic fowl.
