Help!! I’ve never been able to recover an injury

[AShelDuck1]

I have a rooster who is a double blue genetically tested, and the sweetest thing too. Like, you have never met such a sweet guy.

I have these 9 roosters that were a mistaken buy. I’m so mad about it, and as time goes by I get more angry. They are due for freezer camp and I was just finishing them off. They are evil, they were sold as a scam and with lies.

They broke out of their cage and I guess they ganged up on my sweet rooster. He seems ok, just a limp, some bloody cuts on his comb. The limp is worse today. I put him in an isolation cage for now. I have to catch the evil 9.

How do I help him recover. I have a lot riding on him and I’m attached.

Can you post a picture of him?

Treat him for shock with a warm, dark place and give him sugar water. Check him all over for injuries.
Give him vitamin.

Here he is. Still limping

 

[AShelDuck1]

He still has a limp!!! But he is well enough and the rooster gang is gone I reintroduced him to the flock.

Will he be able to do “his job”?

Probably. If not, and you're depending on his genetics, you can do artificial insemination very easily.

But in all likelihood, yeah. He's also just young too.

I'm sorry this happened to you and your rooster. Hopefully your rooster's limp is just based on bruising and will clear up in a few days. In future, if you need to capture difficult chickens, wait till they roost, then pluck them off the roost and stick them in a dog crate.

Hahaha. Thats what I do. When I need to check injuries or tags or what not.

Work smart not hard!

It’s been over a month so… idk.

He can run and has full mobility but I can tell he still has a limp in his run

Well! Now I know. lol

I'm glad that he's recovered enough to be with the flock.

Most likely he will be fine and be able to do his job if the hens are accepting.
