I'm happy you'd asked because this is an old post and I totally forgot to update it. The splint did help but we stopped using it some months ago, and then his leg started falling out again after a while. We took him to the vet and did a scan of his leg, turns out he not only has a slipped tendon...

I have sent you a message :wee Thank you I will look into this as well :) I honestly don't know how he pooped out worms recently because he is the only chicken I have, and he's blind and has aim issues so he only eats the feed that I give him 🙄 Chickens are so mysterious

I have all of the above so I can definitely try this. Thank you. He doesn't have any nasal drainage, at least not that I see. He did have eye bubbles in his left eye maybe a week ago, and he kept scratching that eye. I thought it may be an eye infection so I put tobramycin drops in that eye...

I just tried to put some ear drops into his ear. He shook his head a bunch of times, clucked angrily, and now we're not on speaking terms anymore :(....:)

You know I think that is a great idea. I have a bunch of leftover prescriptions from his previous appointments so I will try that and see if there is any progress.

Thank you. It's incredibly difficult to book veterinarian appoints where I am right now but luckily I have one next week that I booked like 1.5 months ago. It wouldn't cause hearing loss to wait until next week, right..?

Thank you :hitPoor guy

My rooster is constantly shaking his head. It's been getting progressively worse over the past week or so. His hearing has also been getting more and more sensitive. He used to shake his head when he would hear loud noises, but now he's shaking his head with almost any type of sound he hears...

I absolutely loved staying in Hawaii. It is astounding how many different breeds of chickens just roam around freely. My album is just full of pictures of random chickens in parking lots, at the park, on the beach, etc. And the people are so unbelievably nice too! I really wish I could live...

That makes a lot of sense. I've learned something new today, thanks for the information. He is absolutely beautiful

He's still pancaking on my bed (changed pic). I'm not looking to buy birds, but I've been visiting rescues (hence the pictures) that may be able to give him a better home. We're still very undecided. In terms of flying, the vet has cleared us for travel :) we have our appointment on the 29th to...

I actually got excited bc thought this one was a junglefowl... 😂 I guess I was wrong

Sure I totally understand. I don't really doubt any of what you said. I'm simply reiterating what I was told. I think as you've said these chickens may not be purebred or in top condition for fighting but apparently cockfighting is prevalent where I am and roosters get stolen all the time for...

Most are old. The first one I think is 13 years old maybe that is why. That was what the rescue told us. Some were passed off to them by the PD.

That makes a lot of sense since most chickens in the picture are rescues from fighting. Are there other breeds of roosters that are not gamefowl that have brilliant color patterns like these ones? Just curious
