    6month old rooster survived a bobcat attack but won’t eat or drink

    Hello, Update on my rooster. People have probably stopped paying attention but this is for other chicken owners if they are in a similar situation. It’s been almost 2 weeks. He cannot bend his neck down to peck food . He’s tried to extend it but he stopped probably out of pain. He refuses to eat...

    Update Day 5 after the attack. Here is his wound, it’s very hard to tell under all the feathers. We may have to cut them down to really see what’s going on. He is still very lethargic. Sleeps all day. Wakes up when we feed him. We have finally seen him poop a few times today it’s very runny...
