I've noticed on occassion, my top Silkie Roo, Luppi, spins in circles similar to how my Swirly did; the only difference is, he doesn't have wry neck.
He's gonna be 3yrs next month.
He hasn't been displaying any other worrying symptom, no paleness, no lethargy, no weak crows (he crows plenty and strong), still spars with his son (these are the usual non-bloody spats that don't last long at all, he's actually quite good at evasion), still does all his usual roo things. He's also always been a thin bird ever since I adopted him when he was 7mo, and his crop always had something in it at night. He eats and drinks fine (I still give my flock ((7 chickens)) a teaspoon of rooster booster and .25ml of echinacea in a 1 gallon fountain to help keep the bird flu at bay), though I've noticed he's taken an interest in the chick crumbles I have set for my old girl (how big of an interest, I don't know), but I know he's mostly eating the All Flock.
I just find it odd that he's spinning in circles. He acts and looks perfectly fine otherwise. Even my two wry neck afflicted chickens don't spin in circles like their mother did or like Luppi's doing. Maybe he's stressed? Maybe the weather has him messed up?
Also, here's my Luppi, 'cause why not?
