Thank you. I hadn't thought about him causing himself injury with his own spurs but it sure makes sense. Trimming them is definitely in order, along with treating those boo boos.
Thank you. His roost is only about a foot and a half above the coop floor and it's the same roost he's used for the past 2 years, but it's possible that as he's gotten older he isn't able to hop as well as he used to. I agree about trimming his spurs.
Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my 4 1/2 year old RIR rooster. I noticed him limping and keeping his left foot lifted off the ground. He is eating, drinking, roosting and doing all things rooster like normal but during the day is trying to stay off his feet and laying down. He is molting...
