    Lethargic rooster with green foamy poop

    My Ayam Cemani rooster is lethargic and falling asleep while standing. If stirred, he'll walk around slowly but won't eat much and isn't foraging or watching over the hens. He has green foamy poop (pic attached). No sign of mites or difficulty breathing and no blood in the poop that I can see...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    I got two, my first ever! 😀 The first had a hole in the top that appeared to be from a beak, but was otherwise intact. The second, I collected later in the day wasn't broken. Hoping I don't have a hen or rooser that wants to peck the eggs, going to buy some ceramic eggs tomorrow just in case.

    Roosters are awesome

    Oh. Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to do more research. I've only given them a small amount and mostly the fruit without the leaves.

    Roosters are awesome

    I want to know this too. I have a 10-week old Black Copper Maran that's 5 weeks older than the rest of the flock. I thought I had 11 pullets, but one of the Starlight Green Eggers turned out to be a roo. There's been a bit of a power struggle between them, but I think the bigger Maran is winning...

    Roosters are awesome

    My Black Copper Maran is only 10 weeks old and he's already establishing order over 10 pullets. He just started letting out a hoarse little crow (his wattles aren't fully formed). He pecks at the girls to alert them to go in the coop at dusk. He waits for all of them to roost while he checks...

    Sour crop please help!

    I think the idea is that because they can't digest yogurt properly, it makes them vomit. Kinda like ipecac syrup is used to make a human throw up a toxic substance.

    Space between well and coop

    Mine is closer (maybe 50 ft?), but my well is 450' deep and the water runs off on the opposite side downhill where the septic field drains. The grade of the land and natural runoff is probably a factor to consider. When it rains hard, does the water drain toward or away from the well?
