Is my rooster going to die?

[boltonsue]

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I’ve got the mites (at least on my rooster gone) and he’s healing nicely in his cage. Now however I fear he’s going crazy from boredom. I spend a few hours with him out in the garage every day and am giving him scratch, mealworms etc. but he’s not a happy boy. I just heard him screaming up a storm out there and ran out there, he’s fine but he’s very agitated. Rightfully so!!! He’s been caged up since Tuesday morning. How are we gonna make TWO weeks? Suggestions? Please!!!!

Put the crate in the coop.

Putting the crate in the coop where he can see and be seen, but not be hurt can greatly reduce his stress. Can you temporarily fence part of the run for him, so he can roam a bit and likewise, still be safe? Make sure he cannot fly out or others cannot fly in.

The notes are more then likely his issue , get rid of them off of him and all of your other chickens and coop and let him heal up and that may be the end of it
