    Rooster's Life on the Line: From Fine to Fatal

    Absolutely, he's definitely eating a lot more and I think those boosts of protein really help..!

    Rooster's Life on the Line: From Fine to Fatal

    Update: He's been continuing to fight whatever he has and is making very slow progress, but progress nonetheless. He eats like a champ, but still has a few problems with drinking enough water (although I noticed he tries to do it himself every once and a while.) He's still inside and overtime...

    I don't have any at the moment, but I'll definitely add it to my shopping list, thank you for the advice! I've heard canned tuna is quite good as well, do you happen to know if I could feed that just for now?

    Absolutely! I'll keep updating just in case since he's still not exactly up and running, but I hope it was just a bad case of hypothermia... Thinking about it now, it's definitely possible and could've just made his immune system weak enough to be compromised by more things than once. He's...

    Thank you so much for the tip, it didn't even cross my mind that that could be an issue..! I'm not accustomed to cold weather at all really, so the snow and all the illnesses/rigid cold effects it brings are absolutely new to me- especially in chickens. I'm still learning everyday, so I'll...

    Just posted a picture of it replying to @BigBlueHen53 , I had totally forgotten to include it, so thank you so much for reminding me! It seems relatively normal, but perhaps a little smaller and harder today.. I believe this is because he didn't drink nearly as much water yesterday since he was...

    I was concerned it was organ failure as well, especially heart failure since I know it's quite common in roosters, but his comb and wattle are still very much red and haven't drooped at all. Even with his severe breathing issues, they never tinged blue or collapsed- something I read that was...

    My mother had driven to the feed store to fetch him these worming tablets specifically used to treat every worm type, however she unfortunately couldn't remember it's name... His throat already sounds clearer though and he's definitely starting to breathe much easier now, so I believe they're...

    Thank you so much for asking and even offering to get more help for my boy. Surprisingly his poop seems rather good- although he may be a little constipated- pooping just about 6 or more times a day I believe and just today he started to get up for longer periods of times. He is no longer...

    My 2 year old Rhode Island Red rooster has suddenly fallen incredibly ill. Just four days ago I noticed he was laying beside the coop, a behavior I believed was okay seeing as he would still get up and move, it just seemed as if he was slightly lethargic. Overtime his conditioned worsened, even...
