Anyone near central Michigan that can rehab a rooster? I have a white laced red cornish rooster that needs special care. He was brought in from our barn because he was having trouble walking. He stands up on one foot but won't put the other one down to stand on or walk. He is alert and eats...
I just noticed that my rooster is walking funny and feet are stiff and wont bend at all.
I brought him in the house . I thought maybe it is from the extreme cold we've been having.It was 15-20 below la night. Any ideas? I don't really have money for a vet but will call them. his feet are...
Here are some pictures of my white laced red cornish hens, not the best pictures but they wouldn't hold still.
I hatched one of their eggs out but sadly the chick died during the night. I'm going to keep trying though.
I have 5 barred rock pullets that I got at the end of June.

Ok, so I went out to feed my chickens last Thursday and there was a bunch of feed still in the feeder. I thought maybe I had put more in Wednesday night sometime and forgot. Friday there was still some in there and I added fresh. Then Saturday morning I went out and one of my hens were dead...
I just checked on my baby cornish cross chicks. One of them is very dirty on its back ens and its but is very swollen. It was in with 5 others I removed it and wiped its butt with a warm paper towel. It went to the bathroom while I was carrying it inside to keep an eye on it. Otherwise it...
This is just a question not something I'm planning. That being said, has anyone ever raised a cornish cross as you would a layer, fed slower and not as much and had any success breeding it with a regular chicken? Again this is purely curiosity. Anyone?
