What does he eat? Do his legs look funny? Is it his legs or does he seem to have a hard time with balancing?

Do you have a picture of him? How old is he? Do you have other roosters who might have hurt him? Was he vaccinated for Mareks disease? Do his legs or feet move when you touch them? There could have been an injury, and some chickens may have spinal issues if there is a deformity. But Mareks disease could be a possible cause.

He eats 18% crumble, free rages half the day, has mealy worms, vegetables, seeds, ect. He seems to have a hard time balancing. His legs are now in front of him. When I go near him he tries to move but cant. Ive been feeding him and giving him water by hand

nothing he can free range into that might be a potantial problem? I know mine are cooped in my maintenance area and the property im on bordered a highway they got alot of things they can get into even though mine dont yet. free ranging does add complexity to diagnostics.

Can you answer some of the questions such as age, any vaccinations, or any roosters? It sounds like it could be Mareks. Have you ever noticed anything unusual about his spine or posture?

I hear ya. When I say free ranging I mean the are roaming around my 1/4 acre fenced in my backyard for half the day. Flower beds, homemade goldfish pond n grass thats about it. I know he could of gotten into some things. I did notice last week my next door neighbor got his lawn treated. Im going to go over him again thoroughly tomorrow.
