When we were moving breeding roosters around earlier this afternoon, I noticed one of my NH roos seemed to be standing funny. He is low man on the totem pole, so I brought him into the shed to a crate to observe and keep him out of the chaos of pecking order being re-established in the bachelor pad. He won’t stand upright on his feet, he leans back and almost sits/stands on his hocks.
My daughter looked at his feet and said she didn’t see anything like bumble foot, but I will double check and get some pictures once I get off work. In the meantime, any ideas on what might be causing it and what to do for him? I saw him roosting just fine on the camera last week, so whatever it is, its somewhat of new development; though now that I think about it when I threw scratch grains out last week, he seemed to keep losing his balance so maybe he wasn’t losing his balance so much as trying to stay off sore feet…
