My young rooster cannot walk properly. Sadly he sits on his hocks and pivots around with one wing. Now in isolation because other chickens will attack him. He has a big life force and eats a range of organic chicken feed, berries, fresh grass, etc. My bird vet gave him antibiotics and an injection of vitamins a week ago. He perked up a bit, now trying to get some lift on one leg. I'd hate to put him down if I can get him walking. Vet did not think that botulism, Mareks, gout were considerations nor did he find any injuries. Anyone have any thoughts. He now is on soft bedding inside my dog's crate and all day he can come out and walk around on a carpet. I enen have tried a bit of physio with the hope that he would gain some feeling in his legs... I'm stumped and sad.
