I have a cockerel that was fine and crowing, running being his normal crazy self. I put him in a coop by himself for a couple hours, they seem to like picking on him. Well I checked and my turkeys were running around the coop aggressively so I went to get him and he was limp. Brought him in, he perked up some but super dizzy. He tried to eat earlier but because of the dizziness was way off on pecking. Slow heart rate, now he is just puffed out, looks miserable, and very dizzy. Jerky head movements. He is my favorite so any help is appreciated
 
Gave him molasses and rooster booster. He has a crooked beak, does have trouble drinking but the symptoms came instant

He is laying down now, droopy wings and tail:/
Video may be helpful, upload to youtube and provide a link.

How old is he?

What you are saying is he was harassed while penned up?
Have you looked him over for injury, any bloody inside the beak, feet/toes look ok - no injury to them?

Cross beak and having difficulty drinking to begin with, I agree that he may be dehydrated. Work on hydrating him. Hold a cup up to his beak and see if he will drink on his own.

Photos of his poop may be helpful too.
