    Rooster with stiff neck, sitting upright

    Hello! For the past two days, my rooster has been holding his neck in an odd position, I will attach a picture. He is unsteady and is very slow when walking.

    Need help identifying footprints!

    Thank you for all the replies so far! I went out and took some more pictures, with a pencil for size comparison. I live in southern Ontario. It also looks like it tried to climb this stray piece of deck railing that's propped up against the back wall of the coop - so I think that might rule...
