    Roo Attacked! (With Nasty Pictures!)

    I did read everything everyone posted! Very helpful and I appreciate it. We have iodine on hand so I've been using that. Brought him inside and he's in our backroom in a cage all nice and dark with some electrolytes and some hard boiled eggs. But I guess my next question is- how in the world...

    We got our very first flock in March - 3 hens and a rooster and have had good luck with them- no serious problems. This is the first time I've posted and I'm really concerned and my local vet doesn't do chickens so I'm not sure if anyone here knows what to do. Our chickens were out free...
