If a rooster has a leg which sticks out from his body, and is obviously paralyzed because he drags it, then it is most probably that he has a viral disease called Marek's Disease. The vet can verify this by pulling the sciatic nerve in the hip. It will be enlarged. The bird cannot live in this condition, and must be put down. The flock should be vaccinated as Marek's is highly contagious.

The rooster could be ill, it could be the wrong season ( crowing is part of setting up territories and calling females into his group, if it is not breeding season his male hormones will drop and he will have no desire to crow) Or He could be a beta rooster - if there is more than one rooster on the property at least one will always be alpha doing most of the crowing, others down the pecking order may just stay quiet, accepting that they are not at the top of the pecking order.
