Looooong story short-ish. My stepdad decided to take care of our overabundant rooster problem. He resorted to the gun method and without telling me, took out four of them. Well, one of them that he shot is one that I wanted to keep, which was pretty unfortunate...I bonded with that darn rooster (I'm very sad about this). While I was out in the garden I look up and BEHOLD...my rooster has returned from the dead! Obviously the job wasn't done right on the poor fellow. He is walking, eating, drinking, dragging his left wing around. I can't see any blood or even where he was shot. I'm asking if I should do the more humane thing and just put him out? Should I leave him alone, after returning from the dead he certainly seems like I should give him his best chance at survival by making him comfy and just see where things go? Or should I spend the $$ and take him to the vet? I have no idea how high chicken bills can run you.
Thank you to anyone who can help me! My heart aches for this darn rooster and I just need a little advice on what somebody else would do.
