Treating Infected Wattles At Home

[Wyorp Rock]

My rooster is going through something similar. I have him on an antibiotic and carprovet for the inflammation & pain. I know he’s in pain because he’s huddled up not wanting to move. I’m feeding him baby food as he does not want to eat the pellets. He drinks water when held near his face. a little bit of the wattle skin is flaking away but I am not touching it as it will make it worse. I’m also keeping him in the coop where it’s cleaner than the run.

I’m hoping he’ll make a good recovery. I hope your rooster does too.

I'd give him soaked poultry feed instead of baby food.

Hope he recovers.

Hi, did he recover? Frostbite on wattles are from dunking when he drinks water. If the area is too cold you can change the setup for something like a nipple water system. Hope he recovered
