Rooster stop crowing

[LeeAnn Toler]

Something got a hold of my rooster 2 weeks ago and he hasn't crow since then. It's been very cold here too and I thought that might have a little bit to do with it. I'm getting safe chicken heaters but won't be here until Wednesday. They're not in a coop either. I just have them in a closed fence but put tarps all around it so that the wind won't get to them.

Welcome to BYC. Is he eating and drinking ? If so it is probable that he is still scared by the attack.

He seems to be acting a little bit better today. He just crowed around 2 o'clock. They act like they are sensitive to cold weather. He is eating better too.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens!

It takes them a while to get over an attack.

Check him over for puncture wounds though. Those can fester and leave an abcess

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Good to hear your boy did crow again. If he starts to go down hill, definitely post in our Emergency section for more help.

Welcome to our roost!

Welcome to BYC. How cold is it there? Mine have a coop, but are outside happily scratching around and it's zero degrees F right now. We don't use any heat here.
