hen and rooster, help

[TherryChicken]

  wish my kids were that easy. lol

lol so do I, I have a coming on 3 year old

 

[Granny Hatchet]

aww, ya, those terrible twos will keep going for the next 20 yrs.

 

[TherryChicken]

Lol. Well his stubs seem to be slowly stopping with bleeding. However he is a hard rooster to mess with so me continuing to mess with him is going to do more harm then good. So I'm going to leave him be till tomorrow, which then I need to clean the pen. Will the hen be ok with the rest of the group if I keep the saddle on her?

 

[TherryChicken]

So I can put the rooster in the coop by himself instead of the small pen

his stubs where the spurrs were

How would I use the corn starch?

Just coat the stumps in it. He can go into the coop by himself as long as the bedding is clean and dry. If it isn't then a small pen might be a better idea. You just want to give his stumps time to heal up (or harden off) before they get dirty. You don't want them to get infected. Unlikely, but possible if he's strutting around in the dirt.

As far as the hen goes- if the saddle covers her injury then she will be OK with the flock. The injury must be completely hidden, though.

Ok and ill put more hay down cause the bottom is dirt. We did cover his stumps in starch though

 

[TherryChicken]

will this work? Under neith is dirt though. However at night he goes into the coop and it's just hay. Will he be ok? I'm not going to do it this way again. I'm going to use clippers and just trim them down. This is too scary for me and stressful on him and he's having oxygen problems already

It looks perfect.

Good luck with them.
