This is the picture of my roosters leg
as i mentioned earlier he is not walking
But i found little redness behind his knee
I am treating his bumblefoot and he is on antibiotics
He is active in eating And is just 1 year old
I want to ask is this redness normal and this region is soft too..
He is too pale
Please suggest me something to save him and to make him walk .. i can't see him like this

It looks like it may be red from pressure or lying on that boney area. Some chickens may have red streaks through legs from being fertile. I would put some padding under him or consider making him a chicken sling or chair to get him upright, out of his droppings, and in front of food and water. In this link below look at post 5 for more pictures:

have you wormed him? Paleness is generally a sign of parasites. I would guess the redness on the back of his legs is from sitting on them from not being able to walk
 
I don't know the exact percentage. . But i feed him with high protein diet mainly
And sometimes he ears eggs sometimes he does not
I am giving him vitamins too in his water and i have applied corn cap because while removing his bumblefoot i was not able to make the pus out of his foot

I don't have an access to a diagnostic lab unfortunately. . But i wanted to ask if it would be okay to give him albendazole
I meant is is going to harm him if he would not have worms?
Or it's okay to deworm rooster occasionally
 
Albendazole (Valbazen, Albomar, and other brands) is pretty safe for poultry for worming. Is he a house rooster? Or does he get outside on the ground?
 
He is a house rooster and though he eats whatever we eat but in past few days he ate soil several times which was wet bcz of rainy season... and both of my roos got sick
One of them died and i dont want to lose this one at any cost
Btw i am having this albandazole at my home .. which is for human child ... would it be fine to give him the same
Or i need to buy another one?
And also he is on antibiotics because of staph infection. . Would it be safe to give him albendazole in combination?
I have made a chair for him but he looks pretty uncomfortable and is afraid..

I think it would be okay to give both a wormer and an antibiotic at the same time. Some might recommend completing one thing, then doing another. The dosage of albendazole depends on his weight.

Dosage of albendazole is 10 mg per Kg (roughly 5 mg per pound.) With the brand you have, it looks like you would give 0.2 ml per Kg of weight. Be sure to shake the product well, since it settles out.
