Will my chickens comb reattach

[CannedMonster]

Update on my rooster, I was wondering if it was normal for him slot stop crowing and also I dont think he is eating. I tryed putting his food in water and feeding with a syringe but it did not work. How should I her him to eat.

He may be depressed from the fight.
I would mix some of his feed in water and place the dish in with him.
Try to entice him with some favorite foods.
Mealworms, tuna or sardines, scrambled or chopped hard boiled egg.
Hopefully others will have more ideas.

He could have something else going on with him as well. Check his crop to see if there is food in it, and if it is not emptying overnight. If it feels full and hard, or puffy, there may be a crop problem. How are his droppings? Is he walking okay and alert, or is he hunched and lethargic?

Can you get him live food? Mealworms or crickets? The movement stimulates them to eat.
You can feed the insects chicken food or even medication "gut loading" and he should gobble them right up.
Iv'e had zombie chickens come back around for live bugs.

I gave him some cucumber and he ate it, but I dont think he is really eating to much of his food cuz his crop is empty. He is moving around alot so that's good but he just don't seem like his self I think he is mad that he lost the fight but I'm not sure. I'm going to be giving him a bath and put more medicine on him I will let you know how he is in a bit. Thanks for your help

Are you sure his comb is the only injury?

Well I thick some of his wattle my have been bleeding to. And I just gave him a bath and as I was drying him off on the parch he was wheezing. He was wheezing yesterday also when I broke them up from another fight that they got into so I dont know what's wrong I thought that he was doing it because he was running. And also I dont know if it was just because he was relaxed but he kept leaning forward while I was drying him and laying slightly on his chest but he just sat his eyes open wide awake. It is 75 outside and I gave him warm water to bathe in. What should I do about his wheezing.thanks for getting back to me everyone, I really appreciate it

@Eggcessive !

Your assistance is needed please.

There’s more going on than just his comb.
I thought He was separated from the other rooster? How did they get into a fight?

So you have a video of his wheezing? One can be posted to YouTube with a link here. Does he wheeze on inspiration, on expiration, or both? Is it all the time? Can you look inside his beak and throat with a flashlight for anything unusual?
