Hi! We have had hens for about 8 months. I was just recently gifted two Cochin roosters. They are sweet and pretty, but have issues.
Last night I heard them squawking in the middle of the night. Something was after them. I ran out and couldn't find the culprit. The roosters were alive.
This morning I went out to investigate. There were feathers everywhere! And I started looking for other signs of the animal. I found some green poop. Very green
So I assumed it was the other animals poo, but after googling it, I'm afraid it may belong to one of my birds.
The roosters have poultry lice. And one has very runny poop sometimes. His rear is nasty.
I am treating them for the lice tomorrow, but I'm wondering if I should cut my losses and get them away from my girls. I really like them, but I don't want them infecting my hens.
I appreciate your advice! I'm clueless!
