I have a rooster that fought with a raccoon about two weeks ago. He seemed ok at first just had a swollen eye. After about 4 days it appeared his eye was ok until about 4-5 days ago. He began to hold his head sideways and seemed dizzy and weak. I searched high and low for a answer and then...
I’m truly sorry and yea it was a bit of a messy message. I had to stop a few times while writing it pl forgive me. He is a Rhode Island Red and I will get pictures. It was my brothers rooster so I’m not sure his age ( I think 2? ) i basically am the one taking care of all these birds and have...
I have a rooster that I just noticed today acting stand-offish and pooping green bubbly poop. A coon had got in the coop the other night and got one of my hens and he fought with it. I had seen his face looked swollen and his mouth open so I thought it was from this fight. Well now I’m not so...
It was when he was born the egg yolk sac or hernia. I see others that let it dry then cut it off. I put ointment on it to make sure he didn’t get mushy chic so I did that . He is better except for being alone not wanting other chics pecking at it. I’m just waiting on it to go away. It’s where...
It’s hard to see but it’s the black round spot. His bottom looks like that from the a@d ointment I was putting on him. He is other wise starting to put weight on and healthy . I had to help fix a splay leg with him also but he is 100 better. He is just lonely. I tried adding him with the other 5...
Sorry to have so many questions lol he is one week today and it’s really dry and hard. Sis you keep yours away from the other chics the whole time until it come off? He wants to be around the others so bad. I just don’t want the others pecking at it . I’m just afraid it will take weeks to go away.
Did it ever fall off I have a baby this same way and haven’t got a answer myself. Is the chick doing well? Mine wants with the others so bad , breaks my heart it’s alone. As soon as this falls off I will put him with his brothers and sisters.
Well a storm come through and knocked our lights out so I’m really not sure because of this. Out of twenty eggs my brother ordered we got 4 that made it. But again there was no power for a few hours. I was so stressed when this happened. Some where shrink wrapped etc. but they made it. before...
Right .. I just fig it would be hard for the raccoons to chew through ya know. Lemme clarify my words.. some kind of wire .. maybe not chicken wire . I’ve seen others do this is why I said it lol. 😇

Yes! I believe my rooster had pin’d it in! But since then I’ve made sure they are all locked down and I’ve put boards all under the parts of my fence that I feel there getting in. I have noticed it’s being moved in the night so there definitely coming back! I would have never thought this was a...
