    My 3 Month Rooster Sick or Just Drinking a Lot?

    I don't know exactly how much space he has for himself. When I visited last week, he had lost some weight. But I heard from the elderly caretaker that the rooster seems to be doing better this week, and I hope the caretaker is observing correctly. I guess if he wasn't eating at all, he wouldn't...

    My 3 Month Rooster Sick or Just Drinking a Lot?

    I don't have that chance, but I try to call the caregiver at least once a week and ask. He said he is good, two days ago

    Does anyone else have experiences or advice to share about introducing a young cockerel to a flock?

    Yes, they looked fine. I didn't pick them up to check, but they were all energetic, and some even have chicks. Besides that, they also collect fresh eggs.

    My 3 Month Rooster Sick or Just Drinking a Lot?

    I might have overestimated the number of hens; it could be around 30 to 40 Thank you, that makes sense. I'll continue to observe him and give him time to adjust. I'm still concerned about his weight loss and the wound on his comb, but I hope he gets used to it.

    I might have overestimated the number of hens; it might be around 30 to 40. Is that still a good number? I hope he gets used to it, as you said. I'm just worried that things might go badly. Thank you!

    My 3 Month Rooster Sick or Just Drinking a Lot?

    As I mentioned, he lost weight and had a wound on his comb. I don't think it's normal for him to lose so much weight in just one week - I could clearly feel it when I held him. Also, when I visited and put him near the other chickens, they chased him. He doesn't seem happy there

    Rooster not adjusting to new flock - lost weight

    Yes, you're right, thank you. The man is elderly and has his own problems, so he isn't always available. However, I will try to contact him more. As you said, it seems best to at least observe him for a while longer. Thanks again.

    My 3 Month Rooster Sick or Just Drinking a Lot?

    He stays in a separate part of the flock where there are no roosters. However, I don't know if the caretaker ever puts him near the roosters during the day, even occasionally. I think he probably never sees the other roosters.

    Rooster not adjusting to new flock - lost weight

    After I gave him grit and adjusted his diet to just feed, corn, and wheat, his condition improved. As for the other topic I could clearly feel the weight loss when I held him in my hands, and someone else also said he looked thinner from the outside. If it were up to me, I'd want him to stay...

    Rooster not adjusting to new flock - lost weight

    I think the man has a total of 2 roosters. But I guess he has around 40 to 50 hens. Not all the hens and roosters are in the same area. He separated some of them because they’re brooding. He doesn’t have contact with the other roosters. He’s already staying in a separate place from them. My...

    Rooster not adjusting to new flock - lost weight

    The caretaker is keeping him separate from the roosters and is being careful about this. What do you think I should do? Should I take him back? Should I keep him until he grows more and then give him back? Would that make the process even more stressful for him? Keep in mind that I don’t have a...
