Well, we decided to cull this Rooster.
I learned that I shouldn't wait so long to try to fix something. When I went to go try to put it in I noticed that the tongue had swollen and looked sort of funky...so instead of putting this poor guy through anything tramatic I decided to do what was...
Well, I am hesitating on what to do with him. We gave him some eggs and he gobbled them up. Took him a few tries on some pieces, but he managed. He is very healthy and in good spirits...it doesn't seem to be bothering him so I thought I would mull it over a few days and see how he does. One...
We can't seem to get it back in. The hole must be really small or already started healing. He squaks a lot when we push on it. Would it be ok to make a tiny slit from where the tongue is attached in the direction of the beak? or would we be doing more damage? Is there anyway to numb it...
No, there is no wound. I can't even see the opening. The tongue is hard, but we tried using some olive oil to make it more flexible. The base of the tongue is wider so it is not going back in very easily. We will keep trying though. He is such a great little guy.
I have a young cockerel about 2 months old. His tongue has been pulled out and is now outside his beak. I have no idea how this happened. He doesn't seem to be in any pain, just drooling on himself. We were going to try and slip it back in, but I thought I would get some expert advice...
Here is my newest mutt...We were surprised to see this one come out of a green egg! Hatched on 12/27/11... She is a Blue Silkie/EE mix... Can't wait to see how she matures!
Here are my 3 Muskateers that our Rhode Island Red hatched out: The two on the left are EE/Buff Mixes and the other...
Mine are doing great! I will post a pic when I get home from work.
Started hatching last night and this morning I had 6 Buff Silkies, 5 Buff Orpingtons and 1 Cuckoo Maran that were all out of the eggs!!! Yippee!!
There were still others piping and of course we still have the 6 duck eggs...
