We have a young rooster about 3 months old and in the last 2 days he has developed wobbly legs and can barley stand? been making sure he gets his food and water but what could be wrong?????

Any ideas??

Thanks for any advice on how to start getting him on teh mend.

Cheers

First thing I would check for is bugs. Lice or mites are very hard on chickens, and I find if I have a problem it is my roosters that tend to show signs first.
Check their vents and around thier neck, look for white eggs around the back end, or red crawling bugs on their skin.
Put the rooster on vitamins and treat for bugs, if no improvement then you will have to search deeper into the issue.
What do you feed? Any history of him getting into a fight with another rooster lately?
