Raccoon attacked Rooster=broken wing & now drooling

[0ddyssey]

did you know, hens can stay fertile for up to a month?
in other words, I bet you could hatch some chicks and, with luck, get a rooster who is just as good as his father was. it sounds like you had a good boy.

A whole month? I didn't realize it was that long! We'll have to gather some eggs and put them in the incubator. It'd be great to hatch from his genes!

To Everyone,

Thanks for the support. It's been strange and sad to not hear his crow in the wee hours of the morning... It's just been too quiet.

You did your best for him. Hopefully you'll get another great roo to fill up at least part of the hole he left

Our bantham rooster got attacked by a raccoon 2 nights ago. He was traumatized, but was walking around ok yesterday... Checked him this morning and apparently his left wing is broken and he's drooling.

I'm so worried we'll have to put him down. We've had him forever, so he is old... Maybe 10 years?

So would putting him down be the best option? Is there hope that he'll heal from his injuries? I know the wing can heal, but the drooling really concerns me.

Thoughts?

My rooster was just attacked by a raccoon too, his left wing is basically gone. Broken bones all that
