Hey my 5 months old rooster doing strange / funny behavior today
He's spinning in circles chasing his tail and walking below and above like he see something on sky (but there's nothing else up)

He's not eating much too
 
Um... it was the middle of the night in the US when you posted, most folks here are in the USA.

Sounds like your bird may have a neurological disorder.
Could be from a vitamin deficiency or he ate something toxic.
What and how exactly do you feed?


Last night he only have some little corn toxic like?? He earlier on the dose of neomycin and Doxycycline cause he having some breath problems now we stop ..

Only today he shows this behavior

oMG what to do to detoxify him?
 
I'm feeling worried
Give him nothing but a good chicken feed(do you have that there?) and clean water and hope it passes. Not sure what else to tell you, sorry, I don't have any experience in this. Maybe @Wyorp Rock can help?



Ohh yeah they have always clean fresh feed and water ..oh okay dear no need of sorry u helped a lot thank u so much ..I'll call vet this night for a safety
 
Hey Saaniya, I hope your roo is doing better today. I've been doing some research on the problem and not much comes up via google search other than threads in this site. So, I'll link what I've found.

It sounds like subluxation; does he seem dizzy in general or only after he's done his spinning? Maybe an inner ear infection, even. Have you tried feeling his neck to see if there's anything there?
