Should I get rabies shot

[Amer]

Our Rooster Gunn, however, was large fowl, and we were more than happy to get rid of him.

Can chickens even get/carry rabies?

Nope

Lo sorry folks I was actually joking which is why I put this in but I thought was the proper forum while chickens are mammals therefore technically you might be capable of catching rabies from them highly improbable I'm aware of that as far as be needing stitches is nothing close to that and as you would have indicated in the post where I said I had to stop laughing when he attacked me again he didn't attack me he just he just bit me. Probably not Behavior I should encourage and any other time when I was with him he would let you pick them up and scratched in between his wings and scratches head but he is a roo the hormones are going to be flowing if not already

Chickens are warm blooded, that doesn't make them mammals..."mamm". Refers to the milk-making mammaries of mammals lol

Hydrogen peroxide and isopropyl alcohol sells really cheap at dollar general. Minor cuts and scratch's should be flushed right away.

Chickens are NOT mammals!!!
Tetanus boosters are recommended more often, as after a barnyard injury, or in fact if you live/ work on a farm.

So I only need to worry if chickens start growing teats lol

Imagine getting eggs AND milk from your hens, actually I wouldn't mind that

No on rabies. Chickens do not have rabies.

Wash and clean it well. Put a band-aid on it. You'll live.

But the rooster might not... Mary

For the sake of anyone who only reads your opening post, I would edit what you wrote and clarify you're just joking. You weren't viciously attacked by a rooster, nor are your "injuries" serious enough to warrant a trip to the ER.

Roosters can be challenging, and people have no doubt been injured, but to post something that isn't true only perpetuates the bad rap that's so often leveled at them.

Seriously, I don't at all find this to be funny.
