I bet he's thinking, you can't see me in here

How is he right now?

About a pound and a half, maybe two pounds, laying on my chest very comfortably.

His feathers tickle my face. Makes me crazy!

All of Jaffar’s feathers on his feet have grown back. So cute but his neck is a mess.

He is worrying me, he is tidbitting with the gals and seems fine, I don’t think he is molting, and he is eating fine. He make purring and growling noises and the cluck cluck for tidbitting.

But he is quiet otherwise I am worried that he sees me as dominant bird and now won’t crow. I am going to try an experiment where I walk away from him if he walks near me. See if he actually is feeling submissive.

Also when he goes to bed tonight I will check him form lice or ticks - I don’t see them digging at themselves any more than usual…

Sometimes the crow is "all's well". With the hawk in the area, he may be going with the "quiet when the tiger walks" philosophy, and may have been aware of its presence before you were.

Mine haven't even crowed yet they are still young I guess. 9 weeks old

They'll crow when they're ready to....the you'll start wishing otherwise as the hormonal idiot phase rapidly follows.

Jaffar has not crowded at all yet. It makes a difference, because he doesn’t like to crow in the house. I’m concerned about the runny poop . He’s usually very healthy in that department. I want my buddy to be okay and not sick.

Jaffar update: he’s eating well. (Chopped tri tips steak) . And I’m watching over him closely. He’s my buddy and I don’t want anything to happen to him!

White egg is Indigo

Green egg is likely Maizie as she hatched from a blue egg, but all the roos there are either brown or blue/green based.

You're one of the decent animal owners, I'm sure your vet appreciates this

He appreciates me not calling him at 2 am for a cough hahaha
