Bleeding Rooster

[multak107]

This could be a major problem, depending on what his status is in the coop. If he was a runt to start with, they wont care near as much. But if he was alpha-male, he will be in some serious trouble. The others will try to take advantage of his weakness and the will likely kill him provided you don't do anything. The first thing you need to do is separate him from the others if he is bleeding, before they get a taste of the blood. He may stop bleeding, and eventually come out of it. But if his comb is bleeding moderately, you may as well dig him his grave, because hell probably bleed out within days or even hours in some cases. However, if he just has bare skin with no blood, just let him be. He knows how to take care of himself. At the most, monitor your chickens behavior and apply something called rooster booster which you can find at TSC. This will help the issue if the issue is cannibalism. If he and another rooster are fighting the medicine wont help. Best just separate the ones that fight unless you want a total bloodbath which is an ever-present-danger. Hope this helped!
