    Amputated roo's foot! What side of breast for T50 injection? Pg 5 PICS

    Some seem to have a natural ability for seeking out trouble I would do some reading on cauterizing on the internet. A hot knife sounds good... At least you have some experience with cutting. I would have NO CLUE how to begin. This website has some interesting info...

    Amputated roo's foot! What side of breast for T50 injection? Pg 5 PICS

    Hats off to you!! I have no idea unfortunately on how to amputate a leg but good for you for wanting to try!! Good luck to you and the roo. The only advice I have (and I am sure you already know this) is to try and get a clean scalpel from a vet (or a doc friend?) and something to cauterize...

    My Hen lays Bloody Eggs All The Time!!

    Now that's something I would be more concerned about, honestly. That's never a good thing. Has it been happening for a long time? And how long have you had her? There's several things that can cause diarrhea, I am just trying to narrow it down... If you haven't had her for a long time, it could...

    Well, ok. Like I said, if it's just a little bit I wouldn't be too concerned.

    My Hen lays Bloody Eggs All The Time!!

    I wouldn't worry about it too much if it's just a "smear" of blood. I think that's pretty common. About how old is the hen?

    Rooster down

    I know its been a while since I posted and I hate that my first post back is an "emergency" one. But I just went to feed everyone and when I fed the 5 1/2 month old BLRWs I realized that one of the roos was laying down and couldn't get up. There is two roos and one hen in there and they are...
