    Well, he's got high protein feed now. If he won't eat it, how can i get it in him?

    I've ground up the layer feed for him and wet it wth ACV. He hate a small amount, and drank none of the water with vitamins in it. I'll get some game bird feed or chick starter for him today.

    So what do you feed a flock of hens and a roosters? It has progressed to a refusal to eat, paling of the wattles and comb, and weakness to the point of crawling, instead of standing or walking. Still alert, just getting weaker and not eating....

    I take it Protein is the goal then. The layer feed is 16 or 18%. I forget which one. I gave him the cat food because of the higher protein.

    Hmm.... Very interesting. Staph can come from ingrown hairs, which is awfully similar to what you are describing here. I will say though, If the bird is acting fine, then it's likely not worth medicating for I guess. Thans for the update!

    Hi there. My 2-3 year old wyandotte too has this on his rose comb. I have had staph on my self several times, and am familiar with what it looks like. I thought this might be the staph as well. My rod had several yellow balls of something protruding from his comb, and when I poked one of...

    Chicken Breed Focus - Wyandotte

    My GLW, SLW, and BW are all 4 weeks old today. Their BO companions in the brooder are certainly more adventurous, which is no surprise as their adult counterparts in my flock are the same way.
