As long as they can't see each other or get to the fence the other is in, you should be good. I learned the hard way, I thought I had it all blocked off, but my fence blocking had just a small gap where 2 stags could see eye to eye (maybe 2-3"). Thankfully I was home and stopped it pretty quick...

Sounds like a pretty good plan! I would caution you, even if not full Gamefowl if you have one running loose you may risk pen/fence fighting. They find each other and it doesn't matter if one is fenced in or not. Domes are commonly used. A fenced in area of their own sounds nice too, just make...

I'm very sorry. I know it's been a hard decision to make. You get attached to these little ones quickly. I understand it wasn't easy and you will feel sad, but he's no longer in pain:hugs What plans have you come up with for housing your other youngsters?

:hugs

Sounds like he has something broken. I'm sorry, I don't think that can be fixed.

There's plenty of housing options for keeping a single rooster or even hens. It doesn't have to be just Gamefowl. Many people keep their breeding and show stock separated for most of the year. Anything from tie outs like you happened to find to dome pens to small coops and runs. As you can...

Him freaking out if you change positions, then I would not do it. I'm sorry he's not getting any better:(

Do you have a relative, neighbor or friend that can help you?

Yes. Prednisone is a vet prescribed medication.

:hugs Well said. I'm sorry that you are having to make this difficult decision. Please keep us posted.

Got links? If he seems comfortable at the temp he at now, then I would leave it alone.

Taking a chicken to a vet is really a personal choice and would be dependent on your budget/how much you are willing to spend. That $50-80 is just to get in the door. Many people do consult a vet and that's great, but it's not something I will personally do. I'm sorry.

Give Garbanzo some time. It's ultimately up to you how much time. I've only skimmed the thread so not sure exactly what you have tried. I would get 1/4 tablet B-Complex and 400IU Vitamin E into him once a day. See that he's eating his chick starter and give him a little scrambled egg which...

To me, it looks like all cockerels too. Thanks for the photo of the Dad. The cockerels that are together right now may get along for a little while, but get some separate pens ready now and be prepared to use them. I wouldn't be able to tell you the line of your rooster either, only whoever...

What breed or line is this cockerel and the other cockerels? A photo of the Dad would be good too:)
