How to raise Backyard Chickens: [CHICKENS-101] Re: Rooster with Prolapse

I appreciate all of your guys responses, I did post some Pictures of Romeo, One of the pictures is dated 8/14/2012 a day before his birthday.

At least one thing, I'm not alone, as weird as this may sound, I'm glad that I'm not the only person out there that cries "over a Chicken." It's so hard to deal with when you have them sooo long and can't do a whole lot when they go down.
I keep hitting myself, why did you give him the stool softener, WHY? But then I have to think if the stool softener helped him get unblocked, I would be like THANK GOD you gave him that stool softener. So right now I'm like this Crazy Person.

But I really appreciate all those chicken lovers out there with your wonderful comments to help me get throw this horrible time, I'm having right now.

I go outside to his coop and it's hard not seeing him there chasing his girls, it's sooo hard to even look at the coop.. But his girls are stilling laying eggs, I grabbed some and put them under my Splash Silkie who went broody, hoping for a Romeo JR or perhaps even a Juliet, I just hope it hasn't been to long and the eggs are still fertiled..

THANK YOU ALL AGAIN...

I have some blue kote but not sure if this is something I should use, I have Tylan injections but not sure if I should give him it.
