Yes if he goes after a kid or my dog he is GONE!
I'ld like to try extra hens and a bigger fence to keep dogs away from the coop maybe before culling him but its a limited time offer :)
I have a HUGE Delaware rooster who has suddenly become aggressive.
I raised him from a chick. I didn't cuddle him but I've handled him, hand fed him treats. I've lost most of my hens lately I believe due to stress (neighbours dog) and one I think he injured because he was too big for her.
Now...
I'm just an amature, but when I got mine they had them bad so I warmed a little solid coconut oil until it was liquid, dipped them in the held them in the air until it rehardened. I figured it would last longer. I also put a drop of tea tree oil in it in case there was any infection starting. I...
Thanks. The fluid was almost perfectly clear, her stomach didnt feel as firm as the day before but I'm not sure I would call it watery. I'll grab some preperation H in town today. Who new I'ld need that on hand for chickens lol

Oh and I did check her legs while I bathed her. No swelling, no strange growths, her feet are yellow, she appears to be missing a toe nail. No apparent pain when I move them. She pretty patiently let me wash them and put Bag Balm on them. They just sort of hang there lifeless, except on her back...

Stella is a 4yr old Araucana, Oliver is a 1 year old Delaware, he is almost as big as my dog, she's less than...
Hello. My chicken is not walking and apparently is not able to stand. I thought at first she just went broady but something seemed off. She is still alert, just can't support herself. I brought her into the house and made her a mix of warm cornmeal & electrolytes. Tomorrow I will give her a warm...
