LOL Good ol' Bubba Rooster! I love this guy. If you found lice, I'd treat all your birds with ivermectin drop on between the shoulders. I'd also use dust on all the premises and on the birds (two days after the ivermectin) in case. Lice are blood-takers, so the ivermectin will get them...

On feeding roosters, when I had mine separate from the girls for showing, I used to use game feed that was mainly grains. Bluebonnet (in the south) makes a beautiful one. I used that as well as laying pellets and let them decide what they wanted. They were gorgeous! But I also supplemented...

To be honest, although additional calcium isn't needed, if you have a mixed flock feeding laying pellets is not going to hurt the rooster. It's not the end of the world and it's not harmful. As far as the rooster-booster recipe goes, it's a cute name for a way to get some food into injured or...

That's a wonderful idea - perhaps we should? Feeding your injured bird? I just absolutely laughed out loud hearing about him bursting into crows on your lap. How delightful!! And that he's showing the girls the graps. Such a great rooster. Wonderful post, and I'm so very glad to hear that...

Rooster Booster! LOL I love it! Sounds good. I wonder what you could do to tempt him to eat more? Wetting some crumbles? Mixing some with unsweetened applesauce? Serving it on a table with a white tablecloth? /wink OK maybe that's going too far. But he's pretty spoiled, and let's...

That's the most amazing story about him defending the hens, and the ravens cheering him on!! They're so remarkably smart! Wow, if you are a chicken hugger (I admittedly am) give him a big hug. Or a spare treat. lol Wonderful boy! Sounds like everything is on track. I suspect his vision...

Injuries. Did you treat them? On the beak - can he move it? On the food - please don't feed him bread and mealyworms. He wouldn't eat these as a normal diet without losing weight, he'll lose weight now on them. Food: what does he normally eat? Pellets/crumbles only, or grains and pellets...

PM me. There are a few injured birds on here - you might check out their posts, too.
