Odd symptoms in Rooster.

[RoosterWhisperer]

I went out to check on him and the eye seems better. He had it opened on his own. It doesn’t look cloudy to me.

I'd say your good eye wise, any change in his comb?

I would clean the cried drainage from around his eye, and use the antibiotic ointment twice a day. Pecks in the eye and respiratory infection are the 2 most common probably causes.

Yes, do what Eggcessive says, I've done it before as well.
The antibiotic ointment works very well, I've also used drops.

Are his eyes brown or orange?
The eye doesn't look blind, which is very good.
Thank you for the photo, that helps!

Yes, here’s a pic of the eye on the other side

Your little rooster is in need of a scaly leg mite treatment.

Can you explain what this is? I got these from a friend a few months ago and noticed how scaly their feet were.. I tried to soak and gently brush but it didn’t seem to want to come off??

I noticed it looks kind of funny, it's most likely just the lighting though....

Here you go my dear.
Scaly leg mites are parasites that lodge and reproduce underneath the scales on chickens' legs. This results in a typical look of uneven, crusty, deformed scales, and can lead to impaired walking, infection, loss of toes and, in extreme cases, even death.

 

[LaFleche]

The mites live underneath the scales and their greyish excrements lead to lifted scales and a lot of itchiness.

As roosters will not lay any eggs, you could treat him with a spot on.
