Random Rogue Rooster

[England-Farm]

OK, this guy found us on Monday this week. We don’t know where you came from, nobody has claimed him, we have posted on Facebook chicken pages, and our neighbors around us who have chickens and roosters have not claimed him. We do not have roosters, specifically. What do I do with him? He looks like his left or right eye has an infection and/or is dead. He is missing all of his but feathers and his entire tail. He could be molting or he could be very sick. I don’t know what to do with him, if he’s really sick to the point of no return, I will do what’s necessary to remove his suffering. If he’s seemingly OK, and doesn’t have any serious illnesses, diseases, viruses then we may consider adding him to our flock but we don’t need a rooster. And we don’t want a rooster.If there’s anybody in the Tony Alabama area or harvest, Alabama area that wants him then please message me and come get them. I have not been able to catch him, I haven’t really tried because he keeps running away from me. It looks like he can’t see out of his in fact it I on the right side and his tail is missing and it’s almost bloody where his tail was. Thanks for any advice on what to do with him or to put him out of his misery.

If feather color means anything, he may very well a well bred RIR - not a production red. His tail will regrow, and his eye may heal if antibiotic ointment is applied.

His body type is wrong for a well-bred, heritage RIR, but his color is a bit deeper than some Production Reds. Looks like a hatchery RIR!

Ok so I’m assuming he’s a RIR or some variant of that. Dunno how old he is. His tail will grow back? Wonder if he’s molting. Whenever I earn his trust and can snag him, I’ll apply some antibiotic to his infected eye and maybe his butt, too? It’s almost like an animal attacked him or something.

His tail will likely grow back. If you can find out where he roosts, then you can grab him at night. I agree that he looks like a hatchery Rhode Island red.
