    @Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive @azygous @Altairsky Hello everyone, I wanted to thank everyone who has helped and let you know that we had to put Charlie down a few days ago. Along with thanking you all, and I am very grateful that you took the time to offer help and advise, I wanted to pass on...

    Sick Rooster

    @Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive @azygous @Altairsky I know that it has been a while, but I just wanted to give an update. I wanted to leave this information in case it might help others later on as well. It has been a month and we have improved, but not quite there yet. My major problem is getting...

    Sick Rooster

    @Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive @azygous @Altairsky The dose they prescribed was 10ml per gallon. You are also correct. It is the only water source for him and the hens for 14 days. I will check with the vet regarding the critical care. I am hoping that a few doses over the next 12-24 hours will...

    Sick Rooster

    You may be correct. I think (once he is better) I am going to try to put him with the ladies and give the girls enough escape room and enough perching area to keep away from him if they want to. Probably start with limited time and increase it if it goes well. Definitely a learning...

    Sick Rooster

    @Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive @azygous I wanted to thank you all again. I was able to get the rooster into the vet today. He had stopped eating and drinking. He does have coccidiosis. He is now on Amprolium, mixed with his water. Actually, the flock has to get it as well. We also have Critical...

    Sick Rooster

    @Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock @azygous Thank you for checking in. The rooster is the same this morning. Both eyes are normal, no foam. He is not panting or gasping. I was holding him last night and he was falling asleep and he would take an occasional deep breath and have his mouth open and...

    Sick Rooster

    @Wyorp Rock @azygous @Eggcessive Thank you all for your replies and your help. I am going to run to Tractor Supply in the morning and get some Safeguard. I am also going to try and track down some amoxycillin and some probiotic. Would Doxycycline work or does it have to be amoxycillin...

    Sick Rooster

    I have a silver laced Wyandotte. He is about 9 months old. He was fine yesterday, but in the evenings seemed quiet. He currently spends most of his time in our garage as it has been very cold outside. He was an unplanned acquisition last fall as he had been abandoned in the forest. I have...

    Can someone help identify the breed, please?

    Thank you for taking the time to get back to me and for the added information. I wasn't sure how old he was, but what you posted makes sense. I think my next step is trying to figure out the best way to introduce some ladies, either wait on chicks or find some mature birds if I can. Thank you...

    Can someone help identify the breed, please?

    Hello, I am hoping someone can help me. I am new to chickens and this forum, so please pardon my lack of knowledge on this. I acquired this fellow a couple days ago. He was abandoned in the forest. My daughter brought him home from her work. I currently have him in a dog kennel until I can...
