Yea, Speedy. Glad she is doing well. Looks like she is just too busy pecking around to pose for the camera, but Mr. Roo is handsome.

Hi guys ! Just wanna let you know : Speedy is doing well. She has layed 7 eggs. I'm waiting for her to get broody ! The rooster is also doing well. I treated the last bit of his scaly leg mites. It's totally gone now. I'm going to continue treatment for 3 more days or so - just to be sure. He's going to his new home, but the good news is that I will be able to visit him

okay guys i have a problem again. Speedy tried to poop this morning. It was very long and she struggked to yet it out. I had to get all the poop out. A teeny tiny part of her vent popped out but it was sucked in again by herself. Do any of you know what this very long poop means?

Did you happen to get a photo of the poop
Very long, was it bound together with something like fibrous material (grass, hay, etc.)?

No i didnt get a photo sorry. But it looked like a normal poop. Brown with the white stuff. She just really struggled to get it out. I brougjt her inside and her vent was clogged up like badly. The whole prolapse was out. But as soon as i removed all the poop the prolapse popped back in again. She didnt struggle to poop the rest of the day and she's perfectly fine. She does this big poop in the morning. I've seen her do it on other mornings but didn't think much of it. I'm wondering if she maybe holds in her poop at night and then only poops in the morning? I just got a fright, but she's really fine now. I'll snap a pic if she does it again tomorrow

Does she sleep on a roost or on the floor?
