Absolutely on board with this. Although my boy Walter passed, I rescue lots of injured and disabled birds. A forum specifically for this would be wonderful. Thank you for suggesting it.

Yes and I’m holding on the treats for now. I imagine I’ve been giving him too many meal worms. Going to try and right size the amount he gets since he doesn’t get exercise like the rest of my roos. Thank you for the advice 😊

It’s an all flock feed. I have a mixed flock so I use this. It’s comparable to flock raiser. So yes, it is a balanced poultry feed. I’ve bought him some grit and I’m holding off on the treats for now. Thank you 😊

My disabled rooster (due to injury not Marek’s), Walter has had soft stool for about a week and half. He eats triple duty, dried meal worms, dried soldier fly larvae, the occasional banana, watermelon, peas, and scratch grains. I also recently gave him some treats I found at Walmart, pictured...

Is this trimmed enough?

Thank you so much. He’s always had a beak that grows fast. I’ve started trimming it myself recently because it got too costly to take him to the vet so much. Good to know I can trim further. None of my feed stores had rooster booster but one of them gave me VitMinPro (pictures below). Will this...

I found Winston, my bantam rooster, laying on his side this morning. I took him out and he was wobbly and a little weak. I sat with him while he ate a little and he pooped once, which was mostly clear but no blood or anything like that. Showing no signs of any respiratory issues. I recently...

That is quite a lot to take in. Will I get any of this medicine I time to treat him? I live in Hawaii. Should I just bring him to an avian vet? I don’t know if I can afford it if it’s this serious but I’m not sure ordering that medicine will get it to me in time. Thanks for all of the info.

He’s not eating, drank a small amount and this is his stool tonight, see picture. Sorry to keep adding to this. I picked him up to give him his oral dose and his crop feels like it has fluid in it. Is this part of cocci?

Sorry to bother. Just started his corid treatment. I am suspecting I will need to do the drench because he isn’t drinking much and I noticed the water he did drink came back out of his mouth when I picked him up. I sanitized his enclosure and had a question about that. I was told I would need to...

Getting Corid from my local feed store this afternoon. Thanks all for the advice.

Not sure of his age as he’s a recent rescue. This photo is a before and after of him from when I rescued him until now. He had it pretty rough before I got him. Rescued from fighting a few weeks ago.

went to give my rooster some meal worms and watermelon this afternoon and he didn’t get up right away to chow down as he usually does. So I reached in to check on him and when he stood up I noticed some bloody stool. He is in a coop alone and has been since I got him because he is a rescue from...

I took some more pictures because I have a question. I had to alter his I took some more pictures because I have a question. I had to alter his hammock/sling because he wouldn’t keep the puppy pad underneath and he was making quite the mess on himself, which I imagine isn’t healthy. So I cut an...

The splint you see is the only place where I felt something move in a strange way. Like it was loose. When he isn’t in the sling he rests on his keel and struggles to get around on the good leg. He uses his wings a lot. Still eating, drinking, looks bright otherwise. Comb is also bright and...
