Ugh. My brain-damaged roo is not getting better, it's looking more and more like I'm going to have to cull. Which really sucks, because this guy was my first rooster... luckily, now I have about four other "accident" roos I just loved to much to get rid of, so I won't be that lonely... but this guy, Tom Cruise, was always my baby. I'm going to give him two more days.
That is a shame. I have one I feel that way about as well. My crossbeak EE rooster, Peedles. He is just such a snuggly sweetie. As far as your poor guy, it could be a concussion which should start to show improvement after a few days. Sort of like brain damage in people. They can improve. If he does I'd give him a chance. But if he's no different than he was right after his injury this many days later, it might be time to consider putting the poor guy out of his misery, no matter how hard. You definitely seem like a compassionate person who does indeed have their pets' best interest at heart. Though it's going to be terrible to lose him. At least he won't be suffering anymore as it seems like he obviously might be. We've all gotta make decisions like this at times. Considering quality of life over quantity.
