I've started him on the tetroxy again. He seems great.
But our other 4 mo old roo discovered him today and went nuts attacking the cage. We culled our other roo last weekend since he was so mean and I sadly and spontaneously made the decision to cull this other one too since he was terrorizing my hens today and was really bent on killing our little guy that we've been trying so hard to nurse back to health. Phew. No more chicken dramas, please!! My hens will have a much more relaxing day tomorrow. That roo was just a little too much for those old gals to bear. Many of my hens were missing neck feathers and had bloody combs. I feel awful but I couldn't find anyone who'd take him. He was a really beautiful light sussex.

But I did buy 3 week old chicks from a local farm to raise w/ our hatchling. One of those is the nasty roo we culled last weekend. The other 2 seem fine health-wise.
