    Rooster bleeding out through beak

    Yes, we went over him and didn't find any punctures or cuts. Monday night was the first time since he was a chick that I've been able to hold him. He wasn't eating more than a small handful a day while caged and looked sad, so this morning we let him back out with the flock. He seems happy so...

    Rooster bleeding out through beak

    Can I ask you a question? Bubba is eating a little and drinkng and moving around. He looks alert and is acting more like himself. But he is sneezing droplets of blood (I haven't seen him do it, but I found a few dried drops on the floor right outside his cage and sometimes I see him move his...

    Thanks - I will do that. He ate some meal worms and soaked grain this morning. When he heard the flock outside he crowed. I'm absolutely shocked.

    Rooster bleeding out through beak

    He gurgled a little after we syringed him some water with poultry drench. We were very careful and went slowly, drop by drop, into the side of his beak. About an hour later I caught him drinking out of the dish of water in his cage. When he gurgled after we gave him water it made me wonder if...

    Rooster bleeding out through beak

    Update: no more blood this morning. Bubba is sitting on the perch we put in the cage. He looks tired but alert. Not hunched over, no discharge, eyes are clear. His overnight poops were loose but normally colored. All the other chickens look fine and are out foraging. He doesn't want the Nutri...

    What I have is poultry nutri-drench. I also have molasses. Does anyone have any ideas about leaving him outside (around 68 F) or bringing him in (80F)

    Thank you, I will put electrolytes in his water right now. Should I bring him in the house? We put the cage on the porch because it is so hot here. If he's in shock maybe I should bring him in? It's 80 F in the house.

    Sorry, I thought I could keep it private and still share the link. I just set it to unlisted. Should work now.

    Rooster bleeding out through beak

    I have a video I'll upload off my husband's phone. I work from home and spend most of the day near the chickens. No predator attacks and no fights. We do have another rooster, but they are hatchmates and we've never seen any aggression other than play. I would definitely know if they were...

    Rooster bleeding out through beak

    My 6-month-old rooster has been fine all day and suddenly started hemmoraghing through his beak. He is gurgling and spitting up a lot of blood. No discharge from eyes or nose, comb is bright red, he's been playing around and living his best life all day. I'd appreciate some ideas of what to look...

    Hens Raising Chicks - Observations?

    I love the dated observations. We just got into chicken keeping last year and had our first broody back in February. I’ll ask my daughter to keep a diary now that the same hen is broody again.

    First broody hen

    I had a young hen go broody this spring. We are new at this and don’t have a rooster, so I took her off the nest every day to try to convince her that playing outside was more fun. No dice. So I bought chicks and slipped them under her. But my point is that moving her off the nest did not cause...
