Dubbing My Rooster Need Advices

[centrarchid]

@Saaniya, I am a game fowl person but not a vet. Removing such a large comb is beyond by experience. Combs less than half that size are problematic when comes to bleeding. Problematic, in that birds can be lost through bleeding out or more particularly shock.

If you can keep him away from extreme cold and otherwise keep the comb in good health, it is better to leave the comb alone.

A vet could do job by not dubbing as close as done typically. A clamp could be placed at base of comb where everything above it is cut off. The astringent is liberally applied to exposed blood vessels to ensure clotting before complete removal of the clamp.

Wattles do not seem to be all that difficult to manage on that bird.

Someone who has seen the bleeding in person in a smaller comb I feel is worth paying close attention to.

I've dubbed literally hundreds of roosters and never lost one yet.
Here are some helpful tips for:
#1 get a large old bath towel and roll the rooster up in it. Stretch out the towl and lay the roosters breast on the towl with only his head sticking over the edge of the towl - place your hand on his back and pull his legs straight back - then roll him up tightly.
#2 start cutting (he can't resist u because he is secured in the towl) cut every thing off, but when u cut the waddles leave the flesh under his throat from his beak to his hackles. Do not cut it or it will heal to tightly for him to swallow.
#3 if he bleeds excessively simply pull a small breast feather and stick it on top of his head where the comb was.
#4 unroll him from the towl and get him in a pen BY HIMSELF. If u put him with the rest of the flock they will see the fresh blood - and we know what cannibals chickens can be.

The more u do the easier it gets

One more tip on dubbing. Do it before the comb freezes! Don't dub it while its frostbit and he has a fever. They will bleed much more than normal.
