My roosters acting weird

[Bakers-dozen]

My little de uccle rooster has started to act off as of yesterday I noticed he was sitting low to the ground. Today I went out and watched him several times throughout the day and he almost seems top heavy like a see saw. If he leans down to peck he goes face first. If he sits upright his butt goes to the ground. He kind of shivers here and there which i thought at first might be a nervous thing like maybe he was being bullied and thats why he was staying to himself more. I haven't heard him crow in over a week. As of tonight I have him in a dog kennel with rooster booster water and some scrambled eggs with garlic oregano and thyme. What could be wrong with my little guy?

So sorry he isn't well! Now that he's isolated, maybe you can get a look at his poop for extra info. Is he eating and drinking willingly at all? Any sign of mites or lice? I'm sure the experts will have better questions and advice; hang in there!

Check his ears for an ear infection. Sounds like he maybe having a vertigo issue.

He is barely pooping. Not eating or drinking. Don't see mites. How do I check ears?

There's a small tuft of feathers over the ear holes. Just pull those back, & have a look. If there's yellow crusts, then he has an ear infection.

no crust.

no crust.

Okay, that's ruled out.

What's his diet like, feed, & treats?

Sounds like a thiamine deficiency, you need to try giving him vitamin b. Try using an eyedropper to get the RoosterBooster in him.
