Crowing
Hi all!
This is Red, my sweet Silkie rooster. He and his wife, Magenta, were showing some signs of coccidiosis, so I put corid in their (and everybody else’s) water. (They weren’t the only ones showing signs)
Aside from coccidiosis, poor Red is facing another issue. I’m not sure if it’s related to the coccidiosis, but it’s been going on for a couple days. I’m not sure if his leg is splayed, paralyzed, or something else.
Should I try to make a brace for him or something? We’ve had two cases of splayed leg in day-old chicks, but they recovered fine after 2-3 days with the brace. I’ve never had this in an adult chicken.
He isn’t showing any other symptoms or anything, and the coccidiosis seems to be clearing up now. He is still crowing fine, and doesn’t seem lethargic at all. Here is a video of him. Thank you so much in advance!
