Hi. I live in NC an i love animals. I worry more about my critters than I do myself. I am 46 years old, married, an my critters are my kids.
I have a 9 month old Rhode island red rooster named Bo that I am worried about an need suggestions.
I am unable to work due to a work injury an hubby can't work so I have limited income.
Any suggestions an help is greatly appreciated.
 
Welcome. I'd start out with a nice vitamin boost as a water additive. Thing with chickens is there is a severe shortage of qualified veterinarians available (With good reason) so as keepers we have to make a mental list and start checking things off one by one. Typically start with a deficiency of some kind, if no improvement you didn't cause any more harm and we mentally move on to the next box to check off. So on and so on. Keep us updated, there is literally a millennia or five of experience on here with chicken issues.
