Hi all. Just thought I'd update on Bruce . He was at my house for about weeks but I couldn't keep him there any longer due to all his crowing. So about a week ago I took him back to the nursery where he stays in a dog crate in a covered area. The only problem is the heat there so I got him a...

We're not sure exactly why he got shot or who did it. Of course we're wondering as my friend, the owner of the nursery, lives there also. Probably because chickens run wild and there are way too many. He was probably crowing and bothering someone. Or someone is just mean and was shooting for...

OK I'm a little worried after reading this thread. I have a confined rooster recovering from a broken leg. The past couple of days I discovered he loves leafy greens so I've been giving that to him. I got him some grit yesterday and put it in the cage but I have no idea if he eats it. Should...

Thank you so much for your reply. I just thought with cat food it could be bad if they eat too much. I bought one can and I'm going to mix it with feed and give it to him. How much a day do you think they can take? I also have been giving him scrambled eggs. He likes that. What's a good...

Hi everyone, I posted some time ago in the rehoming about Bruce the rooster. He is a feral rooster who I "know" and we found injured in the bushes . Long story made short is that he was shot with a pellet gun, which broke his leg at his femur. A kind vet did the surgery for the cost of...

Hello! Thanks for your reply! I thought I did post this in the free rehoming section? I got some new information tonight and am hoping for the best. Someone at the wild bird rehab haven here told me a local vet office does surgery with them for only 50 dollars. So I'm going to see if he...

Hi everyone, I hope this is a proper place to post this message. I was a little confused about the rules for posting. I am hoping to find a good home for an injured rooster on Oahu in Hawaii. Here is his story. - Bruce is a feral rooster out at the nursery where I work. He is the son...

:( So not even more Lupron would help her? I just thought it theoretically shuts down her system so that she at least would not create even more yolk/etc in her abdomen temporarily?

I have been MIA from this forum for a long time now - mostly because I'm tending to my cat who just diagnosed with lymphoma. But my poor Casino has been dealing with internal laying since last june. I've give her several rounds of Lupron to keep her going but then the shots double in price to...

Yes, I don't know if you know, but there are tons of feral chickens here in hawaii. Casino showed up over 2 years ago but was different from the rest because she was already comfortable around people as a young - maybe 1 month old - little girl. We wonder if maybe someone did dump her but...

Thanks! Actually Casino did get wormed since she went to the vet so she should be all set. The other two I really only feed because they would eat all of Casino's food if I didn't give them some too. Can't really worm them through their water because they just drink everywhere - any puddles...

I've just skimmed through this entire topic and it's quite interesting. My chicken friends are feral but I feed them pellets and scratch once or more a day. My special chicken friend, Casino, who is more of a pet, really loves scratch more than anything. The scratch I buy I get by the pound...

You could try buying this http://www.emeraid.com/emeraid-products/emeraid-omnivore.html My vet suggested it to me for force feeding. Kind of expensive here (55 bucks for a tub) but it is everything they need and it's for debilitated animals. My vet sold it. Don't know if yours might carry...

Thanks featherz. But feeding her the medicated chick starter won't hurt her will it? And doesn't it also have some extra vitamins in it? Would that help her any?

Congrats on your new additions! I hope everyone gets along well! I just went by the hatchery where I usually buy food this afternoon. The last couple weeks I've been feeding flock raiser but today I bought some medicated chick started to give Casino. Do you think that's a good idea? I...

Yes, the 169 sounds pretty expensive. Well, she has to get two shots at a time - so 110 each time. She weighs less than 4 pounds. Last time she was 1.5 kg/3.3 lbs. So not a whole lot less than your Betty. My vet said Lupron would help either way - whether she has EYP or a tumor. I didn't...

When some roosters had it, I put neosporin or iodine on it. But it looks like hers are close to her eye so that might be hard. I think I also put hydrogen peroxide or maybe it was rubbing alcohol on it also. I'm pretty sure I got that advice from the forums here - so do a search. I don't...

I'm sorry I don't have any helpful information for you about this but am interested in what you find out. My hen has been having trouble the last couple months with Egg yolk peritonitis or possibly an ovarian tumor and last weekend started what is apparently a molt also. I'm not sure if it is...
