Hey Gang! Whatcha think of my plans and Rooster issue?

[chichichickapea]

hey sometimes my roos will get in fights and it looks just like that but it dried blood.... Try taking a warm rag and cleaning it off.... JUST an idea... I hope it isnt...

It isn't dried blood, wish it was....

I will try to post a picture this afternoon...

This is the one with the "injured" eye or it might be part of the possible avian pox breakout?

My Legbar Roo, Bullet

This one has it the worst, my Isbar Roo, Scatman





My speckled sussex roo, Atticus

Scatman again

Bullet, this is the best picture of it....notice how it sticks out from the back of his comb like a wart...and he even has it on his wattles....

Awww poor guy!!! I hope they can be saved. I will have to look this up. I feel really bad for you too.

I just researched this and found your thread .. glad to hear they will be OK and actually develop an immunity to that strain ... keep us posted, Chic!

 

[chichichickapea]

yeah, me too Tony....just hoping they don't develop the wet kind.....busted my butt cleaning everything at the coop today....just trying to get the flies under control....put out fly bait/lure in jugs, hung 8 fly strips, etc.....just tired....

Thought I would update....my flock is getting better/looking better. They still act like they feel okay. The number of bumps on the worst ones has diminished a good deal. I spoke with a poultry specialist and he told me to go ahead and vaccinate that it would not kill my chickens. So now I've got to get the stuff to do this. He told me that it can be transmitted by mosquitoes and flies and he thinks gnats (southern thing)....and we have plentiful supplies of all of those.

I received in the mail yesterday my first eggs ever to attempt to hatch. I have 5 cream legbar and 4 isbar....wish me luck, as I totally do NOT now what I am doing. I read on BYC last night til my eyes crossed and took the brochure on the incubator to bed with me...maybe I absorbed some info thru sleep osmosis! LOL! But, I am excited about trying this.

[chichichickapea]

That little one, almost looks like a fart egg, lol. But I'm guessing your giant was from the Marans? Just going off color.
