Is there a possibility that you can weigh him? I'm sure we can all agree that his constant laying down is abnormal. I'm curious to know what exactly he weighs.

my kitchen scales won’t fit him how do i weigh him? Would using a human scale, with a person, then with him, and subtract that number work?

Absolutely!

I just wonder if he could be Brahma x CornishX? I mean, that's what he looks/ behaves like. @Overo Mare, is there any way to tell?

I do not see anything other than Brahma in him.

Can chickens get thyroid disorders I wonder? @casportpony do you have any ideas?

Hmm i wonder too.

Hes around 2.5 kg so around 5.5 lbs. (not sure how accurate it is as my scale sometimes show lower than what the real weight it)

I'd like to see pictures of his eyes.

Not sure id you wanted a front or side picture. Here he is with a gaping mouth. He was laying down before i called him. He can run when i call but is almost always laying down otherwise.

Side view, one of each eye.

Have you checked him for bumblefoot? In case he's not moving around because his feet hurt?
