    Contagious diseases

    Hello everyone. What are the risks of getting sick from handling and caring for chickens? CDC has very scary warnings. Like, what if you wear shoes outside and then walk in your house? Are the health risks really so serious? What if you’re nursing an injured chicken? CDC says don’t bring them in...

    Injured Rooster

    >> Unfortunately because he can’t control his neck. He can not eat unassisted. Certainly he would not survive on his own. The fact that I have previously purchased medication and vitamins for humans and pets, does not imply I can afford what is closer to $30 at out local feed store. However I am...

    Injured Rooster

    >> Oh wow!! Thanks for the heads up on the selenium. This roo, he’s not my chicken. He’s a feral community chicken. Kinda like a feral cat. So, he’s not fed a special chicken feed. I do feed them a mostly grain cat kibble.. Haha.. Crazy, I know. But, the chickens steal the cat food and a...

    Injured Rooster

    >> Thanks so much. This is exactly the info I needed. Two weeks of treatment I read. Just as I’d thought. Awesome!! He should recover. I’ll add the vitamins to what I’m already doing. He already seems a bit better. He has a lot of will to live.

    >> Thank you. Gee, not looking good for him if he may have a neurological issue. I have looked him over and no injuries besides his face/head/neck area. No more maggots and bathed him today. I mentioned in response above the meds I’m giving him. Thank you for the advice on supplements.

    >> Yes, thank you for sumerizing. I’m giving him for pain pet-tinic with torbugesic, two drops, and ciprofloxacin, 500mg dissolved in six ounces water. I use a syringe to give him a ml at a time.

    Injured Rooster

    Hi everyone! So, I’ve posted before, but here’s the back story. I live on a street that has feral chickens. I live in NEFL where it is already like spring and the Roos and fighting for mates about this time. Anyways, we lost a few of the older Roos last year. One to a car and one to a dog bite...

    Injured cockerels

    >> He is so swollen. One eye can open but the other can’t. It’s either really damaged, crusted with dried blood or very swollen. I tried cleaning it better but I could tell it was hurting him, so I decided that cleaning his airways was most important. I used a diluted saline and hydrogen...
