Welcome to BYC and sorry to hear about your lame rooster. Can you give us more details about his age and how long this has been going on? Is he moving his legs and feet at all? Can you post any pictures of how he is laying or sitting? Was he vaccinated for Mareks disease, and do you have other roosters?

I dont know how old he is probably 3 or 4 i have 1 other rooster hes been like this for about a week hes been sitting in the same place for 2 days straight now I dont see him moving his leg at all

Can you gather him up, inspect him for lice/mites, look him over for injury, check his crop, get a good look at his poop? Photos are always welcome.

If he's not moved for 2 days now, then likely he's dehydrated, I would try to get some fluids into him. Once he's drinking, then see if he will eat.

Has he been drinking water or eating at all? Do you have any electrolytes or Poultry NutriDrench available? PND dosage is 1 ml per every 3 pounds. Pedialyte or Gatorade can be okay too. Offer it up to his beak in a small cup, scoop or drinker. I wonder if he could have been injured in a fight or if he was challenged.

Where are you located in the world? What's your temperatures like and where are you keeping him?
Can you get some photos of him and his poop?

Sorry, I just now saw your response. You can mix a tsp of sugar and a small pinch of salt in a quart/liter of water, and feed that.
