I thought I'd pop on in here with an update. Lil Roo is all back to normal! I had to keep putting him up on the roost for a week and a half - 2 weeks straight every night. Finally within the last 3 days he had started getting out of the nest for scratch more quickly instead of waiting and...

This is hilarious, thank you. I will keep an eye on him and make sure he's getting fed and not getting pecked on. Sounds like he will figure himself out soon.

Here our our Silkie hens to see the difference, same age

Our Silkies love to roost about 5 feet up. They will go as high as they can climb and then find a way down. I only mentioned the height otherwise someone would say he's going into the box because the roost isn't high enough.

It looks like he is getting bullied by our big Green Queen. I saw her aggressively put her whole beak around his. He is also very skittish around a lot of the other chickens right now. It's so weird, I think that maybe he was trying to be dominant as the rooster but at some point it backfired...

It's gotten to the point where I have to put him on the roost every night or he will try to sleep in a nesting box (and our roost is much higher than the nests, and all the other hens always prefer the roost to sleep on--he used to too!). Until about a week ago he would never do this. He is...
