    Rooster is lethargic and off balanced HELP

    So I got him some fresh fruit and set him up a little area full of the fruit, eggs and grass. He ate all of it! I mixed in some of the fruit juice into his waterer and he went right over to the waterer and started drinking on his own and then went over to his feeder and started pecking at his...

    Rooster is lethargic and off balanced HELP

    UPDATE: I have put a fan up and have his waterer with electrolytes in it. He is still very tired acting and is usually laying down the majority of the time. He does get up and walk around for eggs. I plan on buying him some watermelon as that is his favourite treat. Hoping that along with some...

    Rooster is lethargic and off balanced HELP

    I'll get a picture tomorrow. It doesn't look like the one in the link. It looks more like the pigment is gone. It isn't bumpy and cracking or anything of that nature if that makes sense. Thank you!

    Rooster is lethargic and off balanced HELP

    So I've continued feeding him eggs with some electrolyte water mixed in with it. He seemed to like that. He perked up a little towards the end of the day. He's still a little slow moving and sleepy acting but he is walking straighter lines and was able to get on his roost tonight. Does anyone...

    It has been steady 90s with humidity. Should I add in a fan for extra air flow just in case? I'll try the garlic as well!

    Rooster is lethargic and off balanced HELP

    He seems to breathing okay. Right now he is laying down with his eyes closed. I sprinkles some food on the ground and he got up with his tail dropped and he was walking a little steadier but still not 100%. No mites or lice. I haven't wormed him since I've had him. I've had him for 5 months...

    This morning I woke up to find that my 8 month old Orpington cockerel is not doing well at all. Last night he was perfectly fine and had bread, water and food. This morning he is very lethargic. He doesnt want to move from the one corner of the run. His tail is drooped and his comb has white...

    Help! Infected swollen leg [PIC GRAPHIC]

    UPDATE: 12/1 Okay so I have an update for you guys. I unwrapped her leg today and it of course isn't very pretty, but there seemed to be a soft spot on the swelling where this yellow crumbly stuff was coming out of the soft area. Is it okay to assume this is pus? I wiped some of it away but...

    Okay, I will do it tomorrow and update you guys on how it went as soon as I can. I did a little research on the Doxycycline and found that someone had been giving 100 mg for their bantam. Since my pullet is a bantam, and a very petite bird overall I have been going with 100mg a day. Didn't know...

    Help! Infected swollen leg [PIC GRAPHIC]

    Would it be worth a shot to lance it? And should I go ahead and get Tylan tomorrow or should the Doxycycline still be fine? And is there anything that I could do to relieve any pain she may be feeling? I soak it in warm water 2x a day and she really seems to like that but I didn't know if...

    Help! Infected swollen leg [PIC GRAPHIC]

    Other than her leg, everything is completely normal with her. Eating,drinking and pooping. All vital signs are normal. The white looking bits on the leg could be from the cream I put on it for a day. It has been warm here lately which attracted flies so I didn't want the flies to add to the...

    Help! Infected swollen leg [PIC GRAPHIC]

    Sorry the delayed response, Thank you everyone! This is her 4th day on the doxycycline. The only noticeable change I have seen is that it is not as hard. It is a tad softer than previous days. I will take another picture of it later on today when I soak it. Thank you guys again!
