Thank you @BDutch. Like you, I just think his best chance is a lot of rest, warmth, and good nutrition

You’re doing what you feel is best, I realize that. His feather condition and skin color (my opinion from seeing the photos) looks pretty good actually. No dirty, broken, or missing feathers. I think the best you can do for him right now is let him rest and regain his strength. Continue with the...

Since the beginning, I haven’t commented much, but I’ve been silently following Apaches fight. I hear about his determination to continue living, and I admire the amount of care and love you have given him. I’ll continue to read your updates, ALWAYS hoping for good news. Keep him warm, loved...

@Papaye there is just one more thing I’d like to add. I’ve been watching your posts about Apache and haven’t commented since the beginning. In my opinion ONLY, I think that proper nutrition would’ve been his greatest chance at recovery. Constant pet food really isn’t the best for him. Any...

Sorry to hear that Apache is in decline. At this point, set him up in a small area out of the weather with lots of bedding to make him comfortable. Provide close access to food and water. Clean him up as needed and just provide supportive care. It sounds like the wheelchair won’t work because...

Thank you for such terrific updates! 😊 Since Apache is standing more and more on his own (also walking), it does indicate that his strength is improving. A very positive development. As long as he continues to eat and drink more normally, and he’s warm and dry at night (along with the treatment...

I’m very happy that Apache is improving! 😊 Thank you for keeping us updated and posting photos. He looks like he feels much better. ❤️ I’m looking forward to following your journey with him. You have such a caring heart. 😊❤️ Apache is a beautiful lucky rooster. You obviously have done all...

I’m so glad to know that Apache is still with you @Papaye! 🥰 He is obviously strong and wants to fight his way through the illness. It sounds like you have been doing everything you possibly can to keep him comfortable and to help him recover. He’s a very lucky rooster. Post photos and give more...

Thank you @BDutch. I don’t often give my opinion on these things, because the conversation can get out of control and feelings hurt. People are passionate about their birds. I certainly am. But during the heat of the debate, people also forget about the very real heartache the original poster is...

@Papaye, you obviously care a lot for Apache. Do what you feel is best for him. You have received a lot of good advice. If he’s meant to survive this, he will. If he begins to fade even further, then you can see him pass away knowing that you did what you could for him. I’m sorry. 😞 I understand...

I’m very sorry about your boy. It sounds like you’re doing what you’re able, since you can’t get him to a vet. All that I really have to add is keep him warm… even if you need to move him inside somewhere. The cold is probably uncomfortable for him. And, don’t put him back with the chickens...
