Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

I don’t feel any broken bones or other lacerations. Just his comb. He’s acting really tired and lethargic. Please prayers for him.

Keep him warm and quiet, he just did a marathon

I tried to catch him but he made it over the 6ft fence to the yard next door

Chicken dinner!

He’s very tired and his comb is bleeding. He’s laying on me right now and I fixed the bleeding. God i hope the little guy makes it.

Oh no! Poor Jaffer. I didn't know there was a rooster next door.
Hoping all is well.

I should never have left the chooks alone when I was in town. Now this happens. I’m scared for my little buddy.

Its not your fault, roosters will be roosters and Jaffar is a strong boy. Its like an adrenaline rush so he is going to be tired. Just let him rest he will be ok.

Its 78 degrees, I just turned on the air. I was napping before I fed the chooks.

I'm so sorry this happened to Jaffar. First things first, you need to take a deep breath and do not panic. Once that is done, cool dark place for him, even if it is on you. If you have access to it, in times like this Save-a-Chick works wonders for the electrolyte boost. If you do not have it the next best thing is to take a little bit of warm water and dissolve honey or corn syrup in it and give it to him. He is older, and the sugar drink will help rebuild his energy. I would not worry about trying to get him to eat tonight if he does not want to, but offer and try to ensure he drank the sugar water every hour or two. I know you said his comb was bleeding, but, what color is his comb? As long as it is not a dark purple to black I would not be overly concerned. I would say he is just tired and may be in a mild state of shock due to his age.

I’m in the state of shock!

I’m just going to hold him, and hope that he gets rest and perks up soon. This little guy means everything to me. I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t last a trip to the veterinarian in his condition at the moment.

Chicken feeder and rooster bowl are full. They all ate good today. Got a few pics
