I will make a sugar/salt solution for her. There is blood on her feathers, but there was/is no active bleeding. I have some styptic powder and pencil, but was not using it as there wasn't anything dripping.
I had a buff orp that got it good too, but it looks to be mostly feathers removed.
***UPDATE****
She is drinking up the sugar/salt solution on her own.e
On a completely different note, I received this rooster today. Any ideas what breed and WHY it doesn't have waddles?
Well, I will be looking for a place to re-home him if he ends up being a stinker. I will keep you in mind if you are interested.He looks very similar to our all-time favorite rooster - an EE. He did not have a beard & muffs but all his female offspring laid blue-green eggs. He was so gentle & sweet - to people. He loved our daughter & allowed her to do anything to him - even as an adult rooster. His only problems were that he mated the hens bald (too much loving) & he crowed all the time (Not good for a neighborhood). Our neighbors liked him, but he had decent volume. I was nervous. He needed a farm with more than 9 hens. After having several roos since, I never realized how rare a sweet, gentle roo was. He would relax on my daughter's lap & rest his head on her arm as she read. (She would bring him inside to do her hmwk. LOL) I also brought him into schools. He was trained to sit on the travel roost, climb onto my arm, & return to the travel carrier when told. It's been a few years, but I still miss "Brownie."
Here are some pics of her playing with him & his rooster hugs. (He would put his head on her shoulder & she would stroke his back)
I have way too many pics so at the moment I can't find the ones when she played dress up with him. Most little girls that age played with dolls. My girl played with a rooster.
x2 Of course, I'm guessing yours may have to spare a little to work out the pecking order. I've heard some people have several roos running about & don't have many issues.
I am going it give it a try. The newbies are in a separate area of the coop but totally visible to the rest of the flock. I figured if I give them a week to see the routine and give extra treats they should be o.k. Of course the best laid plans...
Good luck and hopefully it will go smoothly.I am going it give it a try. The newbies are in a separate area of the coop but totally visible to the rest of the flock. I figured if I give them a week to see the routine and give extra treats they should be o.k. Of course the best laid plans...
We have enough coop/pasture for both the boys to have elbow space. and with 20 hens at least for them each...What could go wrong?!?!? (yea yea yea -I know!! LOL)
