    HELP! Sammy Davis Jr. lost his song!

    No he seems fine otherwise, eating and drinking normal. This is really beginning to stress me out though, I never really gave a hoot about these birds until a dog attacked Sammy and he was in our house for a week, recently lol. Now I have to admit I'm a little fond of him and the other hens...

    HELP! Sammy Davis Jr. lost his song!

    No they weren't quarantined, (oops) we got them from a local feed store in town, they were full grown hens, not chicks. They seem completely healthy, and very friendly...very pleased with them. My mother lives right next door and got a whole bunch at the same time, young and adult. She had...

    HELP! Sammy Davis Jr. lost his song!

    YIKES! Bird flu???? Holy crap. Isn't that the dangerous virus the whole planet was freaking out about a few years ago? Now I'm a bit twitterpaited about this. How will we know what it is?? So what would you recommend we do here? Take him to the vet? Is there a way to have him tested for...

    HELP! Sammy Davis Jr. lost his song!

    Can you think of anything else that would cause these symptoms? I can't say either of us are too crazy about sticking a q-tip down a roosters throat, lol. Even if he is a small bird.

    HELP! Sammy Davis Jr. lost his song!

    Recently our small black rooster has lost his voice...We started noticing his "cock-a-doodle-doo" was sounding like someone with laringitis. Within 2 weeks his voice is now nothing but a squeek. Not normal, as he usually has an unusual musical crow, hense his name "Sammy Davis Jr." lol. He...

    Healing a wounded rooster

    We could use some more advice on our roosters healing process. Sammy seems to be doing a lot better...eating, drinking, talking and crowing. He's still in the pet carrier in our house because he limps and is sore, he can't put a lot of pressure on the leg quite yet. We're wondering how long we...

    We need advice, our rooster was attacked by a dog

    We are keeping him as still as we can. He'll be inside for a few more days probably. We don't want to assume everything is ok, only to find him in bad shape in the coupe. Better safe than sorry. I'm already used to him being in the house. I still cannot believe I HAVE A ROOSTER IN MY HOUSE...

    one more question....what does it mean if they open their mouth like they're crowing, but they aren't. Is something stuck in the throat?

    We need advice, our rooster was attacked by a dog

    Good call on the scrambled eggs He crowed this morning and woke us up, hasn't done that in a day or so. He's eating and drinking now too. Thanks for all your input. I think the only thing that might be a threat is any infections from the dog biting him, if he did break the skin. I can't...

    Thank you for your input and advice. I don't know much about chickens....horses are my thing, everything else is my husbands, but this little guy "Sammy Davis Jr." (we call him that because he's small, black and crows a musical tune unlike other roosters, lol) hope that doesn't offend...

    We need advice, our rooster was attacked by a dog

    Yesterday afternoon a dog attacked our small rooster. We discovered it about an hour after it happened. He was limping, No obvious punctures we can see. He's missing some feathers on both sides under the wing area like the dog had him flipped on his back and tore feathers out that way. My...
