I have a banty rooster who hasn't been quite right for the last few days. He keeps stumbling to one side. He looks like he's had a few too many drinks. Does anyone know what is wrong with him. He eats sleeps and is outside with all the other chickens. He does'nt seem distressed at all. Also does anyone know about cupping? It's an old remedy that helps spranded muscles?
