HELP Paralyzed rooster unable to lift head

[Sir Sacabambaspis]

HE WAS CROWING AND STANDING UP THIS MORNING!!!!!

I would cook or scramble the egg. It will be easier to eat and less messy. Glad that he is improving and eating. If you add water to a small amount of his food, he may eat that and get mire fluids. A rooster could handle up to 2-3 ml of Poultry Cell daily. Vitamin E works to treat neurological problems. 400 IU daily is a good dose. Chopped almond, sunflower seed, spinach and collard greens have vitamin E.

He ate some layer feed this morning and I gave him some scrambled egg with a bit of nutritional yeast and water mixed in with it and he ate a bit of it. He's also been drinking out of his water bowl I gave him that's mixed with half a millilitre of poultry cell. I'm planning on giving him a raw egg yolk or two in a cup with about 2 ml of poultry cell so hopefully he'll get the needed about to help him continue his recovery. How long do you think I should continue giving him Poultry Cell after he's back to normal?

Glad to hear that he is doing much better. Once he is back to normal, I would stop the Poultry Cell. It is a boost good for a few days at the 2-3 ml dosage, but if taken for longer, it could cause some diarrhea. If he is eating a balanced chicken feed he should nit need it any longer.

Any update on your rooster?

He's been great! I was going to give an update but got sidetracked. He's been roosting, crowing, and even mounting hens! He's also been properly moved into his own coop with his own hens. I'm so incredibly thankful for all the help from everyone!!!! Here's some photos of him from yesterday!

I am glad to hear that he is doing well! And thank you for the pictures that prove it.

 

[Sir Sacabambaspis]

He's been doing great and I haven't given him medicated water for roughly over a week or two! Again, I'm beyond thankful for y'all's help!!!

Thanks! He's seems a lot happier since being in his own flock, one of my younger roosters did fight with his dad (only two roosters that were in my free ranging flock at the time of the fight). I think fighting was probably part of Saffron's injury. I've never had more than one adult rooster in a flock so this was definitely a learning experience for me. I'll 100% be taking precautions next spring when I raised the next generation of chicks!

I'm also happy to say his comb has fully healed up to, now there's just a small nibble out of it!
