My roo is suddenly acting neurologic

OK I watched the video and is he ever beautiful!!!

It is so sad- his stumbling and wing issue. He almost looked like he was trying to walk on his toes a bit to me, but I am not sure. Here is a post mentioning a blood test for mareks.

It surely wouldn't hurt to give him vitamins in the water or Poly vi sol no iron just in case there is a vit. deficiency. Poultry vitamin deficiencies aren't pretty.

look under correct feed and supplements for dose

They sell poultry vits at the feed store or online- avian super pack.

Check to see if he has swelling along his tendons of the leg. Check for swelling of the footpad and/or bumblefoot (black scab under foot).
