I really want ot show photos. My hubby knows how to do this better than me. He still won't use legs at all. We'll see. If his legs are gone, well I'll have to cull him of course. But I want everyone to see the world's meanest rooster survive and maybe kinda like me now. He has quit pecking but...
Ya, I've had this thought. I did put a hen in to keep him warm. Of course right now he can't breed but if he feels up to it I may let him. We'll have to see how it goes.
As of this morning he is alive, so I am trying to save hime, with warm water and food. He has towait until after my oldest gets on teh bus so hopefully he hangs in there.

Thanks, but I have never seen an animal this skinny, horribly skinny. But I'll do the best I can. I homeschool two of my boys and I could use this as a science life skills lesson. And a lesson in caring for all God's creatures in a humane way. Oh boy, what have I gotten myself into. My hubby is...
Thanks. You know my neighbor's are great in so many other ways, but this has ticked me off a bit. He won't go to the coop, ok, I can buy that but not knowing where he was and him starving to death, come on???
Well, I'm not sure if any of the others that replied to my earlier post will read this, but if so I need some advice. Ok, my neighbor's chicken has been living in a tree in our yard since summer, actually all 8 were, but the others finally went to their dog house "coop" when the cold got brutal...
