    What breed is my roo?

    Yes, I don’t think he grew much from the size that he was back then, just gained some weight and spurs.

    Help! Rooster poop question

    Hello, I was checking his crop today and it’s like a hard ball. Which is unusual for him. Do you think it’s sour crop or something else? I appreciate any help on this matter!

    Help! Rooster poop question

    Thank you! I love the idea! I will try it. Sometimes I scratch the the brick with my nails and he comes and sorta imitates with his beak. It’s adorable but it’s obviously not enough, so I will try the sandpaper.

    Help! Rooster poop question

    Thank you. I bought a brick for him (it’s behind him) but he seems to prefer to rub his beak against soft surfaces.

    This is him. I have him inside the house for now. I take him out daily to a patio for sunbathing and have a little tub for dust bathing.

    My little too has been doing droppings like this for like a week. He’s also increased his food intake (and his insistence on eating random stuff from the floor). Could it be intestinal worms? I hate that I don’t have any vets nearby that I can consult. 😭
