I have this rooster (1 year old) and he has lately been stumbling like a drunk. I noticed this yesterday when I went to give my chickens water and saw him just lounging on the floor laying on one side. He seemed fine, like he wasn’t looking sad or depressed, he was fully aware just looking around the place. I tried to stand him up and he would stand up for a bit then he would tumble. I checked if there was anything wrong with is legs, but he is able to stand on both of them for a decent amount of time. Then I checked his wing, which both look fine but, I have noticed him only lying down of his left side, and when he does lie on his right, he extends his left wing out. I’m thinking it’s a broken wing and, if so, what can I do to help him? I did notice his head looked a bit if centered from his body and his crop looks a little enlarged. I checked for sour crop and I did not notice white spots in his mouth or was his crop squishy but it was hard. What can I do to help him? (Note: all he does is lie down and look around very alert like normal)
