    Oral Meds in food

    We have had a really hard time administering our roosters sulfatrim (.2ccs) and dexamethasone (.5ccs). Today we squirted each med onto a small piece of bread and let it soak in for him to eat. He ate it all but is this effective? Also can anyone think of another food I could soak it in. (I don’t...

    Oral meds on tongue

    We took our rooster to the vet and they gave us 2 syringes of meds a day to give to him. I’m just wondering if it’s ok to drop the meds on his tongue bit by bit and he swallows it so it doesn’t overflow. This is what we did this morning but I’ve seen a couple posts where people made sure to put...

    Unusual Rooster (now possibly sick)

    We ordered 19 chicks back in august of 2020 and we got a surprise chick with it he ended up being a beautiful docile cream legbar roo. He’s always been kinda off we thought he would die as a chick he would fall on his butt a lot and has always been kinda twitchy. He was supposed to get to 6-7lb...

    Weird poop

    I’ve noticed this coming from our Cream Legbar rooster the last few weeks (it could have been longer but that’s as long as I remember seeing it). All of our hens have normal looking feces as far as I know I’m just wondering if this is anything to be alarmed about:

    Layer feed and Roosters?

    Thank you all for the quick and informative replies! I think I’ll play it safe and switch to an all flock or grower feed and then provide oyster shells for the girls. Thanks again for your time it’s much appreciated.

    Layer feed and Roosters?

    I’ve seen quite a few posts on here about the calcium in layer feed being bad long term for roosters. I’ve also read just as many posts saying it’s completely fine and not to worry about it. We are planning on keeping our rooster till nature takes it’s course, we want to provide the best life...
