We jave a silkie/bantam rooster witj a severe crossbeak (90 degrees). The exotic animal vet we went to when he was three months old said he would be dead in a month. He is now a year old and we feed him with a syringe twice a day. (Egg yoke and ground feed). We also have 9 guinea hens, 10 silkie hens, 3 bantam / silkie roosters, two dogs, a cat, and four horses. We live in Phoenix so it is very hot now.
I found BYC because our rooster is sick,lethargic , not asking to eat, and has green poop. He lives half his life free ranging and half in the house. I read all the posts on "green poop" and will try the antibiotics. He is eating because I force him to eat although today is better than yesterday. We love the silly bugger and would like to return him to good health . Back to chasing the cat and the dogs.

We are glad you joined this flock!
