    Rooster Comb is Ripped off

    Update on Gus: he is back to his normal, grouchy, rooster self. Everything is healing nicely and is scabbing over. Thankfully it has not gotten infected or swollen.

    Rooster Comb is Ripped off

    Thank you all for the helpful suggestions! We gently washed it and put some antibiotic ointment in it. I’ll separate him from the hens again today so they won’t peck at his bloody spot.

    Rooster Comb is Ripped off

    4 Day Old Chicks - Foamy Diarrhea

    They are indoors. The room is between 68 degrees that they stay in. They did not get Grogel or anything during transport. I’ll remove the ACV and Chick Boost from their water to see if that helps.
