Sending a reply for anyone else who may go through this! I found a video for a “slurry” by Welcome to Chickenlandia on YouTube and followed her directions and by the end of the day first 2 days he was eating and drinking small bits. By day 3 I didn’t even give the slurry because he was eating...

I’m scared to hurt him

It don’t look like it but he’s not letting me open his beak to look

No was always told they don’t need that because there’s roosters in the flock. They are wild chickens we just feed them. The baby rooster is the first that dont just do it’s own thing because like I said we found him injured and haven’t reintegrated him. And also like I said nothing I’ve read in...

Ok thanks for the responses. I will look around other forums and see if I can find anything on how to coax him to eat and drink and start giving him baby food. I’ve read a lot of stuff and nothing said I was feeding him wrong on any post, website, etc but I at least need to try to get him eating...

Like the 20/20 stuff I gave him as a baby? All my store has is the scratch I give all of them, the baby feed stuff, and treats like grasshoppers and grubs. Oh and the big corn for horses and goats maybe? My step dad said stay away from the big corn and since I didn’t have roosters I didn’t need...

The corn scratch feed is the main thing I give him. It’s a crack corn scratch with other grains in it. He didn’t start acting weird until the day after he ate the shell and other than that he didn’t eat anything out of the normal.

No it’s from the other chickens when their eggs hatched recently. He eats corn scratch feed, lettuce, rice, scrambled eggs, broccoli. Not all that every day. This is first time he’s acted out of the norm. He don’t free range much due to him being injured as a baby and we rehabilitated him and...

Picture of the cutie last week for payment of answers lol

I have let him eat shells before because was told it’s ok but today is day 3 and he’s barely eating or drinking and sleeps a lot. He wakes up for a hr or two. Is it possible the shell was rotten and he has a stomach bug? Also his poop is green, ranges from dark to lime but green and not as...
