Thank you so much! He will get extra big servings of leftovers (rice, beans, and pork) until I get him fresh feed later today.

The rooster is pet I got from my grandmother several years ago. He has lived alone for the better part of his life. It smells earthy and I don't see any signs of mold. The 5 pound bag of Purina Flock Raiser that I bought a month ago has 8MAY15RPWA stamped on it?!!! Did the feed store sell me...

So I have have a rooster who refuses to eat chicken feed, although he will eat table scraps. I keep a bowl of feed (changed every other day) in his coop, and feed him a treat (usually leftovers) once a day. I only feed him a small handful of treats estimated at 50-125 calories a day. In the...

About 2 months ago my rooster started having difficulty crowing. His calls were quieter and would cut off mid crow. I looked at him carefully and noticed that he was wheezing on the exhale whenever he ran or did something strenuous. I decided to put him on antibiotics (tetracycline) in case...

Any cheap plastic fence will keep chickens in (provided you have clipped their wings). You can also use old metal pipes or rebar as cheap fence posts.

Thank you for all of the responses! I have never been able to say he is XXX breed because he looks different from most pictures I have seen. Aside from appearance there is good evidence that Randy is at least part red sex link: -Randy is extremely cold intolerant. In the extremely mild South...

My grandmother came back from an agricultural market one day, with a beautiful orchid plant the size of a small tree and little brown paper bag that was chirping... I honestly have no idea where he came from other than he was purchased in a (flee market style) agricultural market.

What breed is my rooster?. He weighs approximately 5-6 pounds, is 5 years old, and crows loudly. The black patch on the back of his neck is just dirt and Vaseline leftover from recent cold fronts.

Pictures to determine what breed he is

Hello and Greetings from Florida. This is Randy, my pet chicken. I have had him for almost 5 years, and in that time BYC has been an invaluable resource. I wanted to stop and say thank you to this community for being such a wonderful place to learn about keeping chickens.

After a long soaking and alot of scraping it came off. Its not bumbblefoot! I was very relieved that I did not have to do an operation. He is still walking weird, but I am beginning to suspect that might be because his spurs. The way he walks really isn't a limp, now that I look at it...

I found it a few minutes before it got dark and did not have time to do a proper cleaning. Thinking it was a piece of glass or sharp stone, I tried to pull it off with tweezers, but it was hard to get a hold of, and would not come off. Tomorrow I will do a proper cleaning and examination.

Today I noticed my Rooster limping. When I examined his feet I noticed a black rock like scab. I suspect it is bumblefoot, but am not certain. Is it Bumblefoot?
