My buff silkie rooster which just got his leg healed is now trying to snap his neck, when I go into feed him he is fine but when i come home he is rolling on the floor. I pick him up and he is fine but then he goes and runs into the wall. And it's not a walk it's a full blown sprint. Help I don't want him to be in pain.should I kill him?

Sounds like he has a nerological issue. First the limp and now the running and rolling.
Possibly could be an ear infection, they get a head bob and loss of coordination, but the sprint into the wall, not sure on that one.
You are the best judge of how he is doing, I would reccomend putting him in a smaller area, make sure you check him over for mites and lice, sometimes irriation can cause strange behavior.

Silkies do have a soft head because of their poof, he might have done some damage to himself to cause these nerological problems, if that is the case then he probably won't get better.
