    CAUTION! Pics may disturb. Abscess on my rooster?

    I can't help but from what i've seen others say there are three options 1) Get him to the vets 2) Put him down 3) cut feathers around the abscess' and DIY operation if possible - I don't know if its possible but if it is someone will be around in the next 24hrs to tell you it is and how to do it.

    Pigeons egg

    Normally they hatch in pairs and so keep each other warm but as a single chick in winter it must have been freezing.
