rooster attacked chick

[fanynany]

goodnight from me and garbanzo, nothing special today, other than him purring??? is that a thing? chickens purring? anyways just the basics of him being tired of not being able to be somewhere else i’m basically holding him up the whole day if he’s not in his sling for a bit , he wiggles a lot, which is good but i wake up to him being flipped over and not being able to move which is scary, no matter how i position him he always finds a way to move, i can’t make him sit so he kinda just stands sideways until he sits but i wake up and he’s flipped over

i heard shuffling and i checked and he was flipped over, i surrounded him with towels but i hope he doesn’t hurt himself or suffocate, but without the towels he would be freaking out more since he can’t balance

 

[fanynany]

is there any therapy i could provide him with or is it more of a wait for his inflammation to go down? also is the inflammation the cause of why he can’t peep like normally?

 

[fanynany]

he won’t stay calm unless he’s laying down with me, he’s even purring as soon as i put him in the box the starts throwing himself around and i’m scared he’ll injure his neck or wings, any suggestion?

 

[fanynany]

i held him in my lap and pet him for awhile, after he got drowsy i put him in his box and pet him until he stopped purring and he stayed there and hopefully he stays there, he has his neck in a weird spot but he seems comfy so i just let him, he ate a lot so there’ll definitely be poo i’ll have to clean up but right now he’s sleeping peacefully, i didn’t cover his with a towel tonight because he gets super hot and that makes him wiggle around more, is that okay?

 

[fanynany]

another thing! since he’s been sleeping on his side, his tail hasn’t been pointing straight, it’s pointing the other way? will that go back to normal? is it affecting him? i tried sleeping him on the opposite side to kinda balance it out?? but i don’t want him to hurt his neck.

Don't take risk I recently added baby chicks (Rescued) just to add some fatherhood in my bachelor rooster flock.
But my expectations turned wrong when they started hating baby chicks and also one attracted him by picking him up from head and throw him in corner .

I understand that they don't like chicks until they are big enough I still separately raising them

as soon as i put him in the box the starts throwing himself around

Can you bring one of his hatchmates to stay with him?

i found out that they’re all boys so i’ll have to build another fenced area and coop for them or else the one with the girls are gonna fight them, could i put the cockerels all in the same coop?
