Help limp rooster

[noodles17]

No injuries that I can find. The leg that looks kinda funny is the one that the Fisher cat cut open right where the feathers start 3 years ago. It's always looked red spotty like that and he steps hard on it like it's numb. But he gets on just fine. He's a great roo. As for the little bit of green on the foot, it's always been like that. His dad was Amerucana, mom was an RR. The picture is from July 30th and that was the day after the attack and you can see his feet were much more green then.

That's from July of 2016. He was just a babe, had nubs for spurs. Still fought off a Fisher cat. We live on a river with nothing but eagles and hawks. I let them range, only when I'm home. My roo has always taken the best care of our girls. He chased off a flock of turkeys last year. Was pretty funny.. but he's not aggressive with people so much.

Well, I wondered if there was some ameraucana or easter egger in him. That explains the green skin. He was handsome even then.

My mom had a bunch of different chickens but had an ameraucana roo. She hatched some on my birthday in april So I assume he's half red and half ameraucana. The hens are pretty birds.

Luna passed away last night. I checked on him before I went to bed and he was breathing a little hard. But hes in a better place... Thank you all for your support.

Oh, I am so sorry that you lost poor Luna. Do you have any plans to get a necropsy on his body to look for a cause? Here are some numbers for state vets if you want to contact them (keep his body refrigerated, but not frozen)

No plan for the necropsy.. from the way he was acting I feel like it was Marek's or a digestive problem. I'm just going to burry him.... He was loved

First is him chasing away turkeys. the second is him and i.
