A friend has recently taken on Bluebeard, one of my cockerels, 2-3 weeks ago. Initially she had him in a pen next to the hens so they got to know each other, then they all went in together a week ago. He is now gasping for breath. He is gaping and stretches up to take breath. His comb and wattles have gone purple and he is too busy trying to breath to eat and drink, but is still bright. She has wormed him with Panacur two days ago and put him on tylan yesterday but he has not improved. I just wonder what might be wrong with him? I've suggested separating him from the hens (who have all fallen in love with him) to see if that helps.
