What should I do ?

[Gavinthechickenman]

My oldest rooster is getting weak and I was wondering if I should remove him from the pen and put one of my younger roosters in

 

[Noraaaaa]

Do you free range them? And what do you mean by weak?

 

[Gavinthechickenman]

No there not free range and he has been falling over really easily

 

[Noraaaaa]

I would probably separate him and give him antibiotics or another medicine to help him. I would then put him back in after you did that. Do you have multiple coops?

 

[Gavinthechickenman]

Yes I do but the second one is where my younger roosters live

 

[fluffycrow]

How old is he? I would first make sure that it's not an illness-related issue before doing any drastic changes

 

[Gavinthechickenman]

He’s a rescue so his age is unknown but I would say he is four or up

 

[Mrs. K]

I think flip the roosters, if he is weak, it would be better for him to get out of the flock.

Well is your younger rooster all by himself? Or is it a bachelor flock, if so do not put an old weak rooster in a bachelor flock.

So yes it is a bachelor flock but my other coop that has my flock in can be split in two so I have him in the other side now and I moved a younger rooster in with the flock
