Right ?? XD so funny. Ya he balances pretty well !! Apparently the hens don't mind a wobble 😂

Hey Osatucker :) I sent you a pretty lengthy pm, but I forgot to ask for pics. Would you be able to show us the fracture?

He's doing great! Has his own harem, he's king roo at my mother's place. A few months ago one of his chicks hatched without one wing, missing from the elbow joint down, just like him. It was so strange, I think just a birth defect but how ironic ! He still walks like a model, puts one foot right...

Hey aart, I am :) Took a new job and now I'm in nursing school, still have chickens but life got really busy xD

The vetericyn and blukote was put away about a month ago, I'm not sure the sprays did a whole lot except give me peace of mind lol. The blukote was mostly to stop him from pecking himself, but it seemed to bother him more when I used it, when I stopped spraying it he no longer picked at it. And...

Here he is, Mr.gentleroo:love I tried to get a decent pic of the nub, but his feathers cover it now lol :)) I hoped for sooo long that he was a girl, reading back over this thread makes me giggle :gigWe super owe you guys, I cant thank you enough for all your help :bow:hugs

He's doing fantastic! His tail finally came in, he's super handsome, I'll get a pic up here by tomorrow :) Hes still the sweetest guy. My bantam roo maintains the kingdom, so Raptor takes second command. Hes crowing and doing his boy thing, but his balance is still off a bit. He actually has a...

Almost 5 months, and seriously the coolest rooster I've owned. I still have three of his brothers, all of which are hen crazy, crowing, and try to corral me every chance they get. Raptor is super chill with sitting in my lap, eating meal worms while he watches his girls lol. Apparently coddling...

Interesting, thank you ! I've got a calcified bump on my knee, that makes much more sense than a thumb growing :p I haven't seen him try to mount a hen yet... maybe he's insecure... he definitely has his own three girls, I'm not sure if he realizes lol. He doesn't crow either, but my bantam roo...

It's been exactly 3 months since Mr. Raptor was injured, and he's doing awesome :)) He took his pouch off on his own about two weeks ago, and he seemed more comfortable, so I've left it alone. Occasionally I'll bluekote the stump if it looks like somebody pecked it, but now his feathers are...

I think so... he had lots of healing and feather growth in the past ten days, I hope that in about 2weeks I can leave off the pouch permanently. When he notices the shiny scar tissue he pecks it, even with blukote. Somebody mentioned to me, maybe a month ago, that I should try making a "chicken...

Well, not the past ten days... Before I left, and then today, I sprayed his nub with BluKote and cleaned the inside of the pouch with a washcloth and spray antibacterial/antifungal (Banixx). He still attacks it every chance he gets, so when I'm taking off the pouch for "maintenance" (every few...

So I was gone for ten days, returned this morning. Raptor's modified pouch totally worked! There's feathers growing over the nub. I'm pretty sure it won't need to be covered in a couple weeks :) You can see his rooster tail coming up in the last pic, he's one of those sneaky late bloomers. His...

Quick update :) I call him Raptor-roo now, he looks more handsome every day. There's now holes poked around the pouch-holster for a shoe-string, it's been holding it on great all week, I don't think he can tear it off while I'm gone. He also likes yellow better than purple :p and Duchess is...

Omygod I did again, just realized... Raptors a HE :p

It's been almost 2months already, so crazy! On July 8th I'm taking a trip to the Grand Canyon and Moab, I have 8 days to install a hotwire fence and make sure Raptor can't take off her pouch xp besides that, they keep healing steadily, and I've reinforced/buried the run-fence. My boyfriend's...

:thHaha yeeea the denial is strong with this one... I had to reread and fix the post where I said Raptors a 'he' like 4 times ! Maybe its the purple-pouch he's wearing lol

O wow, so glad shes okay! It took my girls a couple days to get used to the bandages, but even yesterday Raptor took off her covering again lol. They really go after anything that isn't skin/feather colored. A little blukote or peck-no-more lotion on the gauze helped when I couldn't cover it...

So, the verdict is out, I concede.... Raptor is a roo. He's got a beautiful red saddle coming in, dagnabbit lol. His daddy roo had huge spurs, I'm worried his will be the same, if a vet were to remove them should I take him in now (as a juvenile) or after he has the spurs? The wing is doing...

:gigHaha really tho... Ive watched my tiny bantam roo try to land my fluffiest orpington hen, he kept falling off, and she actually waited for him to try three or four times before walking away lols. Good thing is I rehomed Raptor's rhode island red father, so now theres space for a new big...
