My big 13 week old Brahma mix Roo (started crowing this morning)

has been acting normally, eating like crazy, running after bugs, etc. But sometimes I catch him squatting and trying to poop and he kind of makes a sound like it is hard. Very little poop will come out, although it looks normal when it does. His crop was empty this morning, so it is not an impacted crop. He eagerly gobbled their morning snack of a little bit of scratch on the ground. I am thinking of bread with olive oil, or maybe even some oatmeal with olive oil. Maybe throw in some flaxseed?? Ideas?

I know when I give mine watermelon (when it's hot, like this week) their poops can get runny. They LOVE the watermelon when it's hot!
