Blinded rooster

[FlyingNunFarm]

They are amazingly resilient animals. As long as the others don't pick on him and he has a safe place he should adapt quite well.

Yes thank you all. I am flushing his eye and have him in my pen with the laying girls. He managed to find the food and water. He is eating and he is opening his eyes. Will update tomorrow

Several years ago I had a blind cockerel. I had a pan of feed on the floor of the coop in a certain place. He would go in the coop and find the pan and eat. At first I kept a waterer in the coop next to his feed but it was getting too messy but he would go outside and find the waterer. I would watch him peck around until he found what he was looking for. He would peck around the pop door until he found the opening. Every evening I would check to make sure he found his way into the coop for the night. Once in awhile he would get lost in the pen and I would rescue him. Eventually I gave him to a young boy with his mothers permission and told him what I believed was the best way to care for him.

It looks like he got in a lot of fights.

@SugarChick how’s your rooster tonight?

 

[SugarChick]

He is doing better. He is eating and drinking. He might be blind in one eye tho. I can see the color in one eye

Happy to he is doing better. Hopefully the other eye will clear up to. If not he’ll adapt to being able to see out of just one eye. Merry Christmas!!
