My rooster, Doug, has one foot that's become limp. It's still warm so I assume blood is flowing through it but he's unable to walk. He's eating, drinking and poops are normal. Has been living in my bathroom but unable to join the flock. It's been cold outside although they have an insulated coop. Not bumblefoot. Any thoughts?
 
What is your temperatures outside? Is there a possibility that he got frostbite? Here's an article on frostbite on chickens feet: https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...to-know-about-injury-care-and-recovery.78168/

Is your rooster and flock vaccinated against Marek's Disease? Has any of your other chickens showed any symptoms (loss of appetite, diarrhea, dehydration, etc.)? The having one foot go limp is a symptom of Marek's Disease. :(
