    Rooster trouble

    I will try the ACS, thank you. The gunk in his beak doesn't appear to be getting worse at least but I would rather be on the safe side. Can birds other than pigeons spread canker? I've never seen any pigeons on our property but we do get lots of other small birds, though they mostly stay on...

    Rooster trouble

    Also while taking pictures and examining him found three or 4 small white to clearish bugs in the feathers around his head. I just sprayed him with some permethrin spray all over.

    HELP!!! Swollen foot, NOT Bumblefoot!

    I have had a couple of roosters that had bumblefoot. If caught early it looks a lot different inside and there is no hard "core". We attempted surgery on one and inside found some pus and some stringy weird stuff that you knew wasn't right. It was impossible to get it all out so after two...
