I have been using news papers. It seems to keep things very dry. The chickens Rip it up with their feet and everything seems fine. Any reasons why this is not good?
RIP Brownie.
I know this is part of raising chickens. The next question is, can I get another rooster and introduce him into the flock. We want to hatch chicks in the fall.
I checked the pen for signs of lice. nothing that i could see on his back. none of the hens have any spots. They have not been wormed As far as I can tell the wound is not infected.
I separated him from the flock with his own food and water. I saw him eat a few minutes ago. His crap seems a bit loose. I also just sprayed some stuff from tractor supply on the skin where the feathers were. I'm just hoping he bounces back. Would the hens suddenly start bullying him for no reason?
Hi we have a 17 week old rooster who was crowing and doing everything he was supposed to do. Not sure the breed but we noticed all of the sudden that he is missing a bunch of feathers on his back and tail. He has been losing weight and not crowing. He lives with 7 hens in an indoor coop. There...
We have a rooster who has gotten so that he has stopping crowing, has lost weight and is now losing feathers from his tail and back. Looking for advice.
