Newbie after some help please

[FostersDave]

Hi pleased to be in the group and hope you can give me some help.
I have a Leghorn Moran Rooster 7 years old .
He’s fit and lively and has four chickens to look after but on Monday I found him in distress on one side and very unstable I brought him inside and sat with him and after a hour he came round and was fine so i put him back out, everything seemed ok but Friday morning he didn’t cockeral as normal and was quiet and later in the morning I found him in a corner with the same problem ,again I brought him in and he was fine after a hour. Is he having a stroke or could it be something else he’s part of the family even though he’s got a Nasty side but thats what makes him special any help would be greatly appreciated. He did have a growth on his cone but that has now fallen off. However he now seems to have some sores on his cone could this be linked? Dave

Yes that’s him .

The damage looks like it is irritated and maybe infected. Could you get some closer pictures?

Hello, Dave, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
As has been suggested, start a new thread for your rooster in the ER forum. Best of luck with him. 7 years old is an impressive age for a chicken. You must be doing something right.
