Drunken Bird?

 We had a brief scare at lunch yesterday.  We were making our usual rounds, checking the garden, doing some light weeding, and then peaking in on the chicks (who are much more chickens and laying-hens-to-be now than chicks).  Our rooster, 'Brightheart'  appeared to be ataxic (cool veterinary word for behaving a bit like a drunk).  This led me to all kinds of googling, uncertainty and fearing all of the possibilities some of which were for the worst, not only for him but the whole group.  Fortunately, yesterday evening he appeared to be fine.  Maybe he just was a little stiff from dusting, or maybe he's doing some really funky strutting.  I was amazed at how sad and worried I felt when I saw him.  We are predator safe, and they have thrived through their chickhood, turning into beautiful birds.  As we remain alert to his behavior, here's to hoping it was a random event and we'll continue to hear his raspy crow for a long time to come.
