Depressed Roo? NotCrowing or mating and other stuff.

[R1V3R20NG]

A few days ago my white Yokohama started to act really weird. He started stumbling around and running away from everything but me (it used to be me he’d run from) I just realized that he hasn’t been crowing or mating. He is also partially blind in one eye. It’s an older injury. He’s not caponized or anything like that. What’s up with Snowball?

these are older pictures.

How old is he? He is a beautuful bird. It might be related to age if he is older. It could also be a sign of illness. Especially if he was an active crower and breeder before.

He was very active in both breeding and crowing. He currently has 2 living kids. in March he will be two. So that makes him 21 months.

I think you need to examine him. See if he’s lost condition (muscle mass), check him for parasites, see if his crop is functioning, etc. Stumbling around is not good. At hat sounds like something neurological to me. Or weakness. Please look him over closely and report back. Are there other roosters? Where is this guy in the ranking?

 

[R1V3R20NG]

There are two other roosters. He was second but now he’s last. He’s not so much stumbling as he is panicking and running from stuff but the first day I noticed an issue he was staggering. He is digesting his food and it’s sure coming out the other end. I also checked his poo for anything unusual and there’s nothing weird. I’ll do a full check soon but being outside in the cold isn’t best for me right now since a just came down sick. (Overstressed between finals and Christmas)

Hang in there. How is your rooster? Can you get a fecal float done on his droppings?

 

[R1V3R20NG]

I just realized exactly what the problem is. He has an ear infection. I cant believe I didn’t see it earlier. Idk what to do from here.

His right eye looks odd too. Can you get more pictures of it?

Yes I already know about his eye. I think I explained a bit in my first post. He is partially blind in that eye due to a fight between him and my little bantam roo. That is all healed up. He got Cinder too and took a chunk out of one of his wattles. I also have a shot of him blinking.View attachment 1988986
