Somethings wrong with my rooster?

[Bell Street]

The stuff that came out of his mouth was the stuff in his crop. Should be edible unless he was sick with some sort of disease. Open him up and see if he looks normal inside.

Thank you for your help.

Omg yes.
You should only have ONE rooster for eight hens.
SIX?

Couldn't tell if some were roosters for a long time.

Any idea why this happened?

I just finished the deed. When I turned him upside down to put him into the cone a lot of brown liquid smelly stuff poured out of his mouth. Any idea what this may be and is the bird still edible?

Open him up and get clear photos of everything.

You may have to eat a few more before more end up hurt.

Please dont take the curt responses here to be unwelcoming! I'm glad you were able to dispatch him without any trouble. Definitely reduce the number of roos but I totally understand the adjustment period between straight run chicks and too many cockrells. I wish you the best of luck!

Hello from NS and welcome to BYC! You’ve joined a great and resourceful community! Enjoy your journey!!!
Good job putting him out of his misery, and good luck rehoming the other 4 boys, so you don’t have to go through this again.

Welcome to BYC!!
I am so sorry this happened.
While you are deciding what to do with the other roosters, you may want to add some places in the run that allow for everyone to get away from each other: extra roosts, logs, old chairs, etc. Just something they can jump up on to avoid an attack.

You have entirely too many roosters and they are fighting for dominance. The weakest is the first to be killed.
