We are south west Western Australia - on acreage and the chickens have a lot of access to green grass, this particular one is always eating it and has always had really watery diarrhoea. There is another rooster in with him who may be keeping him away from the food so that may well be compounding the situation
knowing this birds history, Pica does sound plausible - always picking at fresh green grass and is ALWAYS at the water bowl 
will continue on his mineral and vitamin supplements todayCrop is empty in the morning, will have to sort out a seperate area for him to go to hopefully get him back on the right path, get his diet balanced again. Always just eaten grass since he came here but he used to come inside and get treats in the kitchen, which probably helped balance his diet. Stopped that a little while ago as he was challenging to clean up after
shall have to find a Balanced food source that he can’t resist
roosters, no one goes hungry. I would recommend at least one hidden feed spot, and one elevated feed spot and one ground level spot.
I have actually just pulled him out again this morning to give him extra tlc, first thing but after quite a lot of water his crop is doughy feeling, I can feel grass in it - after a full night with nothing to eat
but back onto Berocca performance and the star gazing eased within a couple of hours once we got it into him. Managed to get him to have banana and cheese but struggling to get him eating properly. Going to be a long road if he makes it but my priority is maintaining minerals & vitamins and trying to get protein into him as much as we can - his crop has been clearing so I am hoping that is not the problem The two roosters together do get on, but Salty is an incredibly soft natured soul so he has probably not been eating properly if Bart was near by and I have not picked it up I had noticed he was always at the water bowl, think he thought that would get him by Note to self, it is not normal for a bird to drink so much water
