WARNING GRAPHIC Rooster fight, possibly broken jaw?

[staceyj]

He won't peak but I think that's in part because his beaks got cracked a little by his nose. He won't try to eat or drink he's just wanting to sit and sleep. His breathing is less fast now but his still whistling and gurgling again.

I’d try to get a few teaspoons of sugar water in him by dripping it onto his beak and letting it roll down.

Then, Can you put him in a dog crate or box with some towels or an old blanket, and put him in a warm, dim room for a few hours to rest?

He's beat up and very swollen but honestly the only thing you can do is clean him up and let him rest for now.
You wont know if he's seriously hurt until the adrenaline in his system dissapates. The facial puffing happens alot in rooster fights the bones are very thin and even a hairline crack can allow air to go where it shouldn't.

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.

 

[staceyj]

Whistling might be from swollen face impacting sinuses.

Thanks aart. Glad you are here.

Is he still bleeding, or did it stop bleeding?

He's crow has stopped bleeding at least I think his nose has stopped too.

 

[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.

Do his brothers still have spurs? If so check his chest area very well. If he were to have any sort of punctures they'd be there.

He'll get plenty of rest in the crate tonight and in the morning will see if he wants some oatmeal and yogurt. Thank you for all your advice. I'll update in the morning.

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.
