Thank you for the offer to help. I will see if I can get a good picture of the stinker tomorrow and his/her sisters. It may just be they aren't from the same stock since they are from a hatchery. You'll see the difference. "He" is larger,has a good red comb and wattles and nubs on his legs. The problem is he's starting to do the egg squat when I reach towards him. Roos don't do that do they? My two Aussie roos never did. Hope I don't sound too dumb i just have limited experience with cockerels.
My little pup had a bazaar bout with some kind of infection a couple years ago. She developed a lump on the side of her face (not a gland) and before I could get her to her vet appointment , first the eye on that side went white and in the time it took to call the vet back and say we were coming NOW the other one clouded over. I still think it was a bite from a snake or other critter that got infected because she responded to the antibiotic cocktail that was supposed to keep her from getting worse until it could be figured out what was wrong and was almost completely cleared up by the time $600 worth of test results were back from the out of state lab they had to be sent to (i learned the hard way later that she had no faith in her own instincts,or just lacked any, and only trusted technology). Anyway, after a while I could tell Angel had become nearsighted. Fortunately we now have a great vet. She worked with our original vet we had for years until he retired and sold his practice. Fortunately for us she decided to come back to town and partnered with another vet from the practice and opened their own clinic. I hope she can tell us what's happening. Angel is only 8 years old.
