    Mean rooster

    I was still considering my options but leaning towards not. Unfortunately I have no way of keeping him separated so might just have to find him a new home. Thank you for your response.

    Mean rooster

    Yes he is 4 months old. At first I thought he was trying to assert his dominance but the amount he is doing it is concerning me. Especially since he is ripping out their feathers each time. These are my first chickens so I wasn't sure what is normal and what's not.

    Mean rooster

    I have 4 month old chickens. Is it normal for the rooster to grab the girls by the neck and rip their feathers out? Or drag them around? They are never doing anything wrong he just does it for no reason. They are not mating. He just hurts them and walks off like nothing happened.

    Okay. I bought the antibiotics. Unfortunately even after paying for expedited shipping it won't arrive until Friday. Im not sure he will make it so long as he is becoming more lethargic each day. I will keep giving him vitamins and care and hope he makes it. Thank you everyone for the help.

    I will buy both ASAP. I hate to see him suffering. Would you recommend the enrofloxacin in liquid form or pill? I really appreciate your help and everyone else who took the time to reply.

    Also I tried researching online vets that will treat chickens and haven't found any reputable ones that don't appear to be a scam.

    I have a local feed store I can call tomorrow. Everything I'm seeing online says last year a law was passed that all antibiotics have to have a prescription. I will ask them if they have any recommendations for a vet that will see my rooster. I started giving him electrolytes since Tuesday. I...

    Is there an alternative antibiotic that I could get over the counter? I saw some posts of people using fish amoxicillin? I have called multiple vets surrounding me and none of them will see a chicken.

    His crop has been consistently flat. I did mix his feed with water like someone suggested above and he ate it all. If I pay him on his side and pull his leg out he will pull it back in but his feet stay curled. He cannot stand at all. He keeps his legs tucked up when I pick him up.

    I haven't. What would I use? Should I also treat the rest of my chickens that don't have any symptoms?

    Wattles feel completely normal. He is definitely losing weight. I have noticed today he is still alert sometimes but will start falling asleep out of no where. I gave him some food and he ate a small amount. He is pooping out way more than he is eating though.

    Okay. The other chickens have access to grit I just completely spaced it when I moved him and haven't put any with him.

    Yes they both look pale and his comb is floppy. He has been picking at his regular food but not eating it as usual. When I add it with the Greek yogurt he eats it all. He's only 12 weeks old so I'm still giving him crumble. I will try it tomorrow with the water. I do have grit but haven't given...

    Yes I have checked him over. When I spread a wing he will pull it back in. His vent is clean but his poop is getting caught in his butt feathers. I've been trying to keep him clean by rinsing his butt off at night after I change his bedding. No flystrike, no mites. Eyes look normal and no...
