    Rooster won't walk?

    What's going on with my rooster?

    Ok I'll take a look. Thank you. When I separated him and brought him inside he did crow a few times. So curious if his energy is low and that's what's keeping him from doing that. Aside from treating him with safeguard is there anything else I can do for my guy :(
