Our 2 yr old plymouth rock rooster had a broken upper beak and it was bleeding. We clipped it with a dog nail clippers where it was broken. That was about 3 hrs ago and it is still bleeding down the front of him. We put on the stop quik (stuff you use for dogs nails) and it didn't help. What...
I have a 6 month old pullet who suddenly cannot walk or stand and is holding her mouth open in a weird manner (like they do when they are too hot but it is 65 degrees). She can roost and she can flop around a bit but cannot walk or stand up. She is eating and drinking and I have removed her from...
