Rooster losing balance, help!

[Celinasp20]

My 1.5 year old ameraucana rooster is losing his balance while walking. He keeps falling over onto his chest and seems to have trouble managing his feet.

No other hens have been affected, but we caught it early. He was fine yesterday with the exception of him sleeping in a nesting box and not on the roosting bar which seemed strange.
His poop is normal, more on the hard side.
No visible injuries or bumblefoot.

Please help as im at loss at what to do! Isolated him now and gave him water and scrambled eggs with nutritional yeast for Vitamin B12

I would say you started a good thing there. If you want post a photo, video see if he wables again. Have to pot via utube if a video.

Ill try to send a picture soon. I just realized he has mites and lice which I will start treating. I feel horrible that I didnt catch it sooner. Guess ill be busy treating him, the rest of the flock and the coop!
Could that be the problem of him being unable to walk due to being too weak from the lice/mites?

feathers also. If you have some.
