Rooster survived fox attack but not well

Give one whole vitamin E capsule minimum 400iu on top of the other vitamins. One each day until he recovers.

Cheers, I'll grab this tomorrow. How much water should he be drinking a day? He's a big boy.

Typically, half a liter per day. You don't want to put that much into your patient at one time, though, needless to say. I would keep each water dosing to no more than a quarter of a cup per session, but do it frequently.

Most adult hens will take in a pint, or .5L a day, more if it's hot out. That's for a whole day.

Red because chickens associate red with something interesting and likely good to eat. It's one reason I get so nervous when we get a lot of rain here and the red poisonous mushrooms pop out.

I think it may be time to start this patient on some vitamin E oil 400iu. to try to help repair possible neurological damage.

Red! I never made that connection, before. What a great suggestion ... THANKS!

Guess who is feeling a bit better this morning?

He is drinking a little bit and actually managed a couple of mouthfuls of mashed egg for breakfast <3 I mixed them with a little egg and biscuit and extra water.

Still not drinking anywhere near enough according to you guys. He's probably had about a quarter cup tops over the last two days.

Update: Just ate a bit more egg from the bowl by himself!

Glad to see he's feeling a little better!

He is a fine looking fella! He does have an overgrown beak though, so you may want to slowly work on trimming that up over the next few weeks so he can eat/drink better.

Wow! He's looking MUCH better! Keep up the great work ... both of you!
