I just came home from two weeks vacation, and I just looked at my rooster and I'm just crying out loud. My poor baby-boy!
His comb has been all but torn off from the back towards the front and is barely attached. It's just flopping into his face. I had several dear, reliable friends watching my animals while I was gone, and I received regular e-mail updates from them saying the flock was happy and well. Nobody mentioned a scalped rooster. I'm surprised he's still alive. He must have bled horribly. I have no idea whether it's been like this for 2 weeks or whether it just happened.
What do I do? Can it be reattached? Do I take him to the vet and ask them to cut off the rest of his comb so it's not flopping around like that for the rest of his life?
I've always been able to attach pictures to my posts. Today I can't. There's no option to do it on here at all. I'll try to figure out why and provide pictures.
