He seems to be rather mellow now. I wandered in earlier today and I was humming a song from the musical “the Sound of Music” and he relaxed so much… he almost fell asleep lol. I’m going to be assisting my mom with him and I think it’ll go well(hopefully)
Glad to hear it. I'd take him for my flock but we don't take adults from out of state unless it's a pure breed we want, and we have to many as it is.
When you take him back, tell them about his legs and how to treat them. Then they will be able to decide what they need to do going forward.I really hope that his owner will realize that he needs to take care and pay attention to this Roo and that he needs help
For ours it’s sunflower seeds.my chickens love mealworms. Give him some and he is sure to love people. Mealworms are the way to a chickens heart.
I would also but garlic in his water mites had garlic
We’ve bough the supplies to treat his mites and began his treatment! We also examined his spurs and decided that it’s very possible that if we trimmed then it could do more harm than good. it seems pretty deep and if we trim then it could hit the quick. So far, treatment is going quite well other than that
Does he belong to the people down the road or not?
Just keep working with him. He will get used to you handling him eventually. Give him lots of treats like grapes or sunflower seeds, poultry treats, bread crumbs, etc. Handling him should eventually make him submissive to you and he should get gentler.
