Can a chicken have a stroke?

[olivigus]

My pullet that this happened to recovered. I'm pretty sure it was Mareks, but because she had been vaccinated as a chick, it wasn't as severe. None of my other chickens ever showed any signs. I fed her a wet mash with a dropperful of polyvisol infant vitamins each day for at least a month. It has a lot of B vitamins, which are helpful for neurological issues. You might try that with your rooster. As long as he can get around, doesn't appear to be in pain, and nobody's picking on him, it's worth trying to treat what you can and see if time helps resolve things. It definitely worked with my hen. She's four years old now.
