Hello
I have a 5 month old buff brahma bantam roo that can not "fly" He won't use the roosts provided and when I let him go after I visually check him over he just face plants into the ground unless I place him completely on the ground. He doesn't even deploy his wings when's he falling.
I'm OK with him not flying but I'm worried his feet will get cold this winter if he doesn't leave the ground. (Cleveland winters can be harsh). Any ideas on a roost for a flightless bird?
(I've tried placing a wood beam just flat on the ground and he walks over it)
