Loving the herd life
Hey ya'll this morning I let my chickens out and then went to do my goats(the chickens take a while to come out), so after I was done with the goats, I went to go check on the chickens to make sure everyone was ok. So I found my rooster on the floor of the run standing up but his head down on the ground shaking it violently. I picked him up and brought him inside and told my mom. We didn't know what was going on with him so I brought him back down to the coop. And the way I was carrying him was on his back head on my arm and he was breathing very heavily and long. So he was having trouble breathing. I stood at the chicken coop with him in my arms for a while so he can breathe thinking that was just the problem and then I put him down after a good 5 minutes and when I put him down he stood fine but he put his head to the side and couldn't stand it up normally nor walk cause he was all wobbly.
So I picked him up again and brought him back into the house. By this time it's 7:30 am and I first got him at 7:10 am. We didn't know what was wrong with my rooster and knew he was suffering since he was barely breathing so we had to put him down
:crying.
So does anyone know what this is? Is it contagious to other chickens?
