Oh good, so glad you're able to get him in. Hope all goes well and they can come up with a plan. If they mention tube feeding, do ask them to teach that because that s something that you can do yourself.

He didn't make it. Thanks guys.

RIP Buster

Not sure it just happened. It was just so sudden. He was fine last night when he went to bed but this morning he quickly dropped off. Started with him having trouble getting out of the coop and had absolutely no energy. He just got worse from there. Couldn't get him to open his eyes and finally he was completely limp in my arms.

Did Buster have a chance to mate with any of the hens not long before his passing? If so, I would collect the eggs and tried to get a few Buster Juniors out of them! I like Buster..... like I said, he's HUGE!!

I'm so sorry. It's very painful to lose a pet you've grown to love and cherish.

My hunch is Buster was hatched with genetic defects, his cross beak being only a single outward sign. He may have had internal defects such as a heart problem or other organic defects that just happened to get to be too much for his body to deal with.

His stunning good looks were certainly not part of his set of defects.

I am so sorry for your loss. RIP Buster, you will be missed.
