Sorry soon many but, JoJo was posing for the camera, these are just a few. He was having so much fun! and I had to include the picture of him and Ryleigh running through the yard, luckily they are becoming close friends. I have his little area in the kitchen and I've been finding her out there with him! Its cute!

Trust me, Sweetie, it is never too many pictures from you. Seriously. I love these. JoJo looks happy and the one with him and Ryleigh is very sweet.

Here's the other pics! I'm glad JoJo aka Prince Charming can still be genuinely happy at times! I know he's still hurting from his loss

Hi everyone! Nibbles has some spots on his bill I'm worried about. Does anyone know what this is? I thought it was just where he'd banged it on something but more have appeared.

Are those spots smooth to the touch or do they feel rough & bumpy?

Rough. His bill is peeling also. When he got out of his pool just now some of the spots had come off.

I've seen this a while back on another thread. I'll do another search. You're sure he's a male? How old?

Positive he's a male. He's a year and a half old. He just lost his mate, could this be an immune disorder that has gotten worse because of the stress?

Sorry, I can't seem to find the old thread where I saw something very similar to his. I would bet it could be stress related, but can't say for sure.

Let's tag some others that might know more:

I'm thinking he might need better food. The man at the feed store said that what he sold me was the same as flock raiser just a little cheaper. I'm gonna switch him back to the good stuff.

I think it is worth a food upgrade - I have read of drakes' bills pealing. Is there annything he could be bumping into while foraging, causing abrasions? Is there a photo?
