Hey there !
I need a bit of your help. Tonight as I went to put my chickens in for the night I came across my rooster severely injured and a couple of my gals a little hurt (they are fine.)
After inspecting I see that my rooster has been almost plucked clean by something. He’s missing his wing weathers, tail feathers and all over his back but nothing from chest up.
he’s obviously exhausted and in pain but there is no blood nor open wound so I don’t want to put him down if I can get by it. I am prepared to do the work since he is a favourite.
a vet is not an option since there is no vet who will take chickens here.
Does anyone have a similar story they can share or have any idea what is the best thing to do for him?
thank you in advance !
