And we got poop! It was first a tiny bit, solid, mostly green, it looked normal though, as Rusty's poop has usually been solid. Now as I was feeding him a mix of yogurt and apple juice, he got restless, got out of my bathrobe (I was cuddling him as he is still in a bit of discomfort) and he got to my shoulder, and proceeded to poop a very solid poop, like 3 inches long, on my shoulder! darn you bird!
I must be crazy, I'm happy about chicken poop.
Edit: also I finally figured out why it was peeping/chirping so much, it needed warmth. Rusty didn't stop chirping in his sleep, even though 'd put him inside my shirt, until I put on my fleece robe and let him cuddle inside. Poor thing was cold and in need of more cuddling
.
I just noticed there is a black spot near the tip of Rusty's tongue. I can't see it well and I don't want to hold him too tight so I can open its beak, but is it abnormal for a chicken to have a dark spot on its tongue? He doesn't have any foul smelling breath anymore, so I don't know if I should worry.
