HereLet's have a better picture of his spurs to determine whether it is 100% his problem first?
If they're too long they can be filed shorter, trimmed, or pulled.

Yes I didI didn't notice his wing, but he could've dislocated it, or fractured his wrist. You did mention you found him on his back right?
They look pretty long, & need a bit of a trimming.Here
He must of injured himself then.Yes I did
Does his dislocated wing heal on its own? Can I put him back with my flock or keep him separated still?He must of injured himself then.
I walked up to my coop and I see my rooster on his back and he was twitching. Luckily he was still alive and I was holding him but he wanted to walk around and every time he was walking he was limping. He would fall on one side. He has not been acting his normal self lately though.
He was not limping as much but his left wing is kind of down
Yesterday he would fall to one side
He has also been lethargic the past weeks has not crowed in a week.
So should I cut his spurs? Is that is what’s wrong with him?
Do you guys know why his left wing is down?
I would lean more toward injury and molting for the time being.Does his dislocated wing heal on its own? Can I put him back with my flock or keep him separated still?
What do I do for the wingI would lean more toward injury and molting for the time being.
Is he your only rooster? If he is, then I would put him back with his hens.
I wouldn't trim the spurs until he's done molting, the less handling a molting bird the better.
Provide him with extra protein (egg, meat, fish or chick starter), give him a boost a couple of times a week with poultry vitamins like Poultry Cell and see how it goes.
