My neighbors rooster keeps coming to my house across the road ....I just learned that this neighbors other chickens just all died ...were barfing then died....this rooster is the only surviving one they have and he keeps visiting my yard!!!!!
I asked them to keep him away from my flock several x...they said they have no run or coop.....they just let him run loose...he roosts on their porch at night .
Sooooo...I need to know ...do I need to be worried about disease in my flock now? Should I use some preventive measures to assure my flock stays healthy? I am goin to ''dispatch this rooster'' the next time they allow him to wander over here....if I can get close enough to catch him!!!
(They need NOT know what happened to him ...They have been warned )....I have already asked them once to keep him locked up. But my main concern is : how can I avoid having my flock get sick?? What is the best RX to give them to assure they dont all get sick or die ? I have way too much $ invested in my 25 to loose them to this threat....so I am asking advice from fellow BYC'ERS...thanks!!
