EMERGENCY! Rooster needs help to keep surviving

[Miss Lydia]

Just eggs scrambled.

 

[MROO]

How do I make the scrambled eggs? Is it just the egg or do I add oil and salt or just the egg and salt or is it just the eggs scrambled

Just scramble and cook the egg alone, no seasonings or oil. Do you have Gatorade or any other sports drink that replaces electrolytes? Pedialyte, electrolytes for sick children also works well. If not, there are homemade recipes for it here on BYC. Other than that, just keep him quiet and warm, and let him rest. And do make sure the local animal control AND the police know what happened. Where are you? In many places, cock-fighting is illegal, and your lovely neighbors can get into a great deal of trouble for it.

If you are not able to cook safely on the stove by yourself and don’t have someone to help you you could microwave the eggs instead.

Sorry, not to sound rude, but I don’t know how old you are and your “youngchickenboy” name... I have known 6 year olds that care for chickens on their own but we’re not allowed to use the stove.

2x Kris5902 ... Where are you located?

You've been given good advice Wishing the best for your Roo & hell for your neighbors

 

[Silkies for life]

I hope your roo recovers! Those are some terrible people!!

Report your neighbors to law enforcement. It’s against the law to fight roosters.
It’s a felony in 42 states. It’s illegal in all 50.
How could they get your rooster??
Did they come in your yard and steal him?

Call the police!!

I had a young chicken get beat half to death so we were sure it would die. I put her in our closet and gave her some drops of water with a syringe then cleaned her wounds . The next day she was up walking around.

So do I leave him in his own room and bed and leave him there and check once in a while?

Have you seen the chicken slings people make here. If he has a hard time standing that is the thing to do. Find a plastic dish pan or tote Take a towel and drape it over the side and clamp in down somehow. Then make 2 holes for his legs. Then he can be off his legs for a while and rest. Clean him up. Wash gently. Put some antibiotic ointment on his wounds. And put food for him. and water. Give him anything he will eat don't worry if it's a treat. Keep him warm inside. I will say something now that you might not want to hear. Sometimes the best we can do for our chickens is love them. And sometimes that means we don't want them to suffer. So please don't let him suffer. He may have to be put down but that would mean you love him enough to let him be pain free. Good luck I hope he gets better.

How in the world did they get your roo? Did they open your pen or coop and take him? Stealing plus animal abuse? Poor thing how long did they have him and how did you get him back? Sure hope he recovers. Keep him in a quiet place and offer him some tepid water with electrolytes or Nutri drench. Don’t let him have water with out supervision if he can’t hold his head up. If you have Veterycin for wounds and infection would be good to use since it can safely be used around the eyes.

Exactly!!!! Lots of um...good questions
