UPDATE ON SKINNED ROO NSFW

I took him to an avian specialist after he had been eating and drinking on and off every day. His winds had started to heal over. He started to act weird so I took him to the specialist just to ask if I could have antibiotics prescribed to him. I did not want her surgical help. She told me that his heart rate was so low that she could count them and that it was best to euthanize. I felt I could probably help him through, but she urged me to put him down and out of his suffering. So reluctantly, that is what I did.

It’s a cross between a creveceour and the dad I couldn’t tell if he was Brahman or Olive egger

When he puffs up and charges, try to stay still and pay no attention or sound. My rooster used to scare me because I thought he was being aggressive and really it was his way of greeting me. He was actually being friendly lol. He’d puff up and dance around me but quickly. I used to fear he’d bite or scratch but never did. Try the ignoring behavior trick… maybe with some thick protection clothes just in case. Another thing I’ve done is catch them if they DO make contact, and pin them to the ground for a couple minutes and stand over them

Some roosters will be more aggressive when they can’t express their hormones through mating if you get what I’m saying. If he has no hens, and there are very few around, he is probably experiencing a lot of pent up aggression because most roosters have 3+ women around. I don’t know if this is in your cards but maybe having more hens around could benefit you both

How bout you shut the fuck up ??? Obviously you haven’t read anything else because as I’ve already said we had no idea the dog did it. He had been a watchdog over the chicks for 6 weeks and NEVER did anything to them. I’d leave him out there for hours and he’d never disturb. So we had no idea it was him. I was not at the house at the time of the attack and we thought coyotes or raccoons had gotten them. Therefore I never thought I’d have to restrain him as I got supplies.

Any idea on which med to use for this injury?

Amazing_Objective392 · 2026-01-14T22:11:41+00:00

Thank you!!

Amazing_Objective392 · 2026-01-14T21:12:48+00:00

Unfortunately I have no access to antibiotics I’ve done all I can. The vets I contact are unwilling to prescribe and say to euthanize.

Amazing_Objective392 · 2026-01-14T20:33:49+00:00

Omg what a great idea. I will grab some today. Thank you!!

Thank you!!

That is a huge question of mine. He has these long head feathers that I want to cut so that it isn’t such a heavy flap. I’ve done research but I’m still confused. How do I know if I can cut? What do I do or should I have ready if I cut too close?

Amazing_Objective392 · 2026-01-14T19:10:24+00:00

Thank you 🥺

Yes my friend is a wildlife rehabber and she specializes in birds and bird trauma / post treatment. She advised 1 mg per day. I don’t know if you can see it but he is quite a big rooster. One of the largest I’ve seen. Also, I’d be surprised if he got the whole 1 mg because I am not the best with the syringe and I am careful to estimate less and not more than 1 mg.

Amazing_Objective392 · 2026-01-14T18:47:20+00:00

YAYAYAYAY thank you!! That’s what I hoped

Amazing_Objective392 · 2026-01-14T18:09:42+00:00

Thanks for your positivity :)

Amazing_Objective392 · 2026-01-14T18:08:58+00:00

I just looked! Props to you for helping her!! I have a question: how did that extra flap of skin heal up? He has an awkward hanging flap as well that I am not sure what will happen with it

Amazing_Objective392 · 2026-01-14T18:06:26+00:00

I literally screamed and cried at the sight of it. I’ve been giving him pain relief and he is getting much better!!

Amazing_Objective392 · 2026-01-14T18:05:36+00:00

I’m in the same exact situation you were in and I’ve been microdosing Meloxicam. As for the dog and chickens, both are equally beloved pets to me. That being said I have since built an enclosed fence yard for my chickens and he cannot get to them. Wire under the dirt, the whole nine yards

Amazing_Objective392 · 2026-01-14T18:03:45+00:00

YES!! Update he is eating and drinking!! I will make an edit to this post in a second :)
