    Updating.... March 5, 2020. Jerry is still with us. 😃❤️ He crowing, walking forward, and looking much better. He is still not wanting to eat on his own. Vet says to let him get hungry and feed him feed with tweezers. Well that did not work. But he is starting to eat a little from palm of...

    Yes and no. When he stands it seems norm. It’s when he starts to walk every thing goes backwards. Head neck chest pushed out. Feet go backwards. When he catches himself. He will walk forward lifting his feet up high. I’m going to have vet trim his spurs because he seems to be tripping on them.

    Yes I thought of that. May have to put Jerry in with his own hens in another part. I’m sure it’s going to be a problem now that they have been separated. I just need to get him back to normal if it is possible. As long as he is willing to fight I’m willing to help him.

    He does hold head normal when just standing or sitting. It’s when he tries to walk he throws it backwards. Can a neck heal?

    Stressed, traumatized, rooster

    Hello, new here. Hope I can get some advice. 18 days ago a mink got in my coop and killed 8 of my hens and left my 3 year old roster severely stressed and traumatized and probably shock. I took him the the vet that day. He told me that the bird would most likely not make it through the...

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I have had chickens now for 3 years. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? Right now I have 10 hens and 2 Roo I had 30 hens. However in the last 3 years, the Hawks have decreased my flock. And just 18 days ago a Mink got in...
