Rooster bleeding from his mouth

[arianna7]

I have saline wipes. Would that be okay?

umm, im not sure, you could try but it might be a little ruff on the injury.

Homemade sterile saline can be made by adding 2 tsp of salt to a quart/liter of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, turn on low to simmer for 15 minutes, and cool.

this will be better then the wipes, because its used to flush the eye.

My neighbor had some saline! She brought it over. If I need to clean it more, let me know. I was trying to be extra gentle. He’s still blinking but I don’t think I see an eye I feel so terrible. I have a video as well but I’m not sure how to attach it.

1 would continue to clean it every so often till its clean, i don't think there is an eye there anymore, i believe you now have a pirate chicken!

i would also be sure it remains clean and disinfected. be sure to continue to look for more injuries as well!

and as for the video, try posting it to youtube, and attaching a link.

Okay, thank you! Should I use the terramycin eye cream I have?

yes, that should work!

Sorry about your rooster, and it does appear that he has lost the eye. I would continue to flush the eye with saline and use the Terramycin eye ointment twice a day. Roosters fight by nature. Once I see that out of young cockerels maturing, they are separated permanently, and rehomed or butchered by a friend who uses the meat. Having just one rooster has worked best for me. I stopped having broodies hatch birds long ago because of the problem of getting rid of extra roosters.
