WARNING GRAPHIC Rooster fight, possibly broken jaw?

[roosterhavoc]

happened a few hours ago. he's got a bowl of sugar water but he won't drink it himself. I'm probably going to try and give him some with a drip in a bit.

Instead of giving it to him dunk his beak and make him swallow it.

Great! That takes a huge worry off the table.

They're young they don't have big spurs yet. I looked over him the worst is his face, only a few scratches on his back.

 

[Fishkeeper]

Definitely give him soft foods for a bit to be sure he doesn't have to peck at anything.

 

[Chickassan]

Aww, excitement is good, roosters are pretty flippin tough lol!

He is apart he just saw treats and got excited. He won't got back out until he eats pellets on his own. We've been meaning to get rid of his brothers so he'll be the only boy in his flock soon.

All encouraging news.

Tomorrow rather than letting him peck at hard food, it might be a good idea to wet his feed down with warm water to an oatmeal consistency. I do this occasionally with my girls.
Even though it’s the same food, they go at it like it’s something special!
Other options are scrambled or hard cooked eggs,
Canned tuna, and yogurt.

Thank you for the update and so glad he's doing better.

I don't think he could get internal injuries for a "rooster fight".

 

[roosterhavoc]

Seriously??? They get beat up and bruised! If he’s standing there alert he’s not that bad!

 

[GoProChickens]

Is he still bleeding, or did it stop bleeding?

 

[staceyj]

It's coming from his face area and I think he can swallow because, it might not be the best way to know, but when he was bleeding he was swallowing his blood from his nose.

Ok. That question is answered.
