Help! My Rooster Is Walking Backwards and in Circles Whats Going On?

[EggHatchHobbyist]

Hey everyone! Ive got a 10-month-old frizzle rooster whos acting really strange. Hes started crouching, walking backward, and going in circles like hes dizzy. Other than that, he seems totally fine eating, drinking, and showing no other symptoms.

We love this little guy and really dont want to lose him, but our vet wont be available until Tuesday.

Any ideas on what this could be? Has anyone seen this before? Id really appreciate any advice!

Sounds like possible wry neck or neurological issues. Try giving him some vitamin E and selenium , it often helps with balance problems.

Could be a head injury or inner ear issue. Keep him calm and watch for changes until the vet can see him.

It's great that he's still eating and drinking , that's a good sign. This behavior could be from a balance issue, often linked to ear infections or vitamin deficiencies. Try checking his ears and start him on vitamins (E, selenium, and B-complex). Keep him calm and observe closely until the vet appointment.
