Yeah! It's a small world! I saw your page on RIR's page, which was on Grit Magazine's page. So I liked it! The more chicken friends the merrier!
Indeed! And thank you!
He's still awake and alert, so I'm thinking it's ok for me to go to bed now....and for breakfast he's going to taste the best darn eggs he's ever had and I'm going to snuggle him so much he'll forget what his past life was all about! <3
i feel so sad for him. i hope he lives a long happy life
you are lucky to have found him. you get to do something wonderful. he is luck you found him.

Oh, people like you make me feel so much better about the human race in general! I love that you are taking the time to care for this poor bedraggled fellow.
I see you are in Wisconsin; it is certainly possible that he was dubbed due to the cold weather. He could also have been in a big pen of other roos all waiting to go into the freezer; often they dub everyone to keep the blood from flying. The fact that it sounds like he wasn't dubbed very skillfully leads me to think the latter; often people do a lot of birds at the same time and their care and technique leave a lot to be desired. Poor fella!
It surely does look like he has leg mites, which makes me think he is an older bird. Curious...
Do you ever read the James Herriot books? Often he refers to older or very injured animals as having a "pathetic dignity". When I looked at the pictures of your guy that was the phrase that popped into my head. He's just hanging on to life and doing the best he can. It breaks my heart.

Just put it in a blender and make a puree...he should just drink it up at that point.
You might have to force feed him with a oral syringe but its very important that he gets food in him. Also, crush a baby aspirin and put it in the puree. 1 egg scrambled, a little bit of yogurt and a baby aspirin is plenty for a meal.

I have not read any, but I like the sounds of it!
Ok, I've been up and down and then back up with emotions today...sooo happy this morning, then I got a call from his person and she was wondering if he was still alive and I was to quick to say "yes, he's hanging on" and then she wondered when she could come pick him up....And then I was SAD
for several hours, til I decided to call her back and offer to buy him from her and she said I could just have him if I wanted him....And I DO....So Lucky J L Roo is officially our newest family member!
Still trying to get him to eat something...I've mixed some chick starter with some warm water and tried to get some in with the syringe, but it's like he spits it out....
I'm going to see if he'll take some yogurt...crap, I forgot to get yogurt...do you think sour cream is ok? Good grief, or maybe cottage cheese???
Now for his pain, I don't have the childrens aspirin pills I have it in liquid form...how much do you think I should try to give him?
Oh yea and the only other history on him I was able to get was that she had just recently taken him in herself from someone that didn't want him, so I really don't think she was the one who mistreated him, it was whomever had him before her...and she was so willing to give him to me because she only has 5 hens and with 2 roos it was getting a little "busy" down on the farm
