My 6 month old Buff Orpington roo has been acting a bit off lately. There are no signs of injury or trauma. He walks around and his walk is sort of dizzy or wobbly. He shakes his head quite a bit also. When I first noticed this a couple of weeks ago, I though maybe he was just going through...

Gosh...I wasn't this nervous when I had my son 20 years ago...One of my bantam Cochin hens went broody on one egg. On day 20 (6/30), I moved her off the nest like I was doing once a day so she would eat, drink, dust bathe, etc. The egg was pipped (pardon if I am using wrong terms). I was so...
