20 week old leghorn cockerel was hit with a broom and won’t move.

i don’t know, we’d probably put him down at the point if he gets worse attitude wise. he’s not bad because he doesn’t bother anyone else — just my mom. im pretty sure it’s because she’s terrified of roosters and he’s picking up on that. hopefully, with both of us taking care of him, it calms him down. i’ll admit, i didn’t spend enough time with them when they were chicks.

Well he’s getting his hands on time now isn’t he? And with mom helping him too hopefully he is starting to see her as a friend now. I wish him a speedy recovery.

yeah, i just hope he becomes way more friendly after this. i don’t want to put him down even if he is mean, but while im living at home, it isn’t about what i want. the final decision comes down to my parents and they won’t bother dealing with an aggressive rooster.

he did extremely well eating today. this is the farthest he’s stretched his neck out since getting hit and he absolutely chowed down. he ate enough to fill his crop up noticeably ( which he hasn’t been doing until now ).

this is the best he can do at drinking, though. i think his issue is lifting his head all the way up, because he can extend it downwards fairly well

he had to have a quick bath in the sink because he got poop all over himself during the night in his basket

He is looking so much better! He is definitely moving his head and neck more. Your excellent nursing care has saved his life for sure.

yeah, he definitely is. he’s way more alert too. im watching my niece right now and i had to take her downstairs with me, well she didn’t like me paying attention to him lol. when she started crying, he was looking around like “wtf is that”. he also was looking around when i was carrying him over to the sink. definitely more aware of his surroundings
