Where are you located and what's your winters like?I know they can be mean, in fact his flock tried to kill him as well, before I took him out and isolated him. I’m planning on him meeting a few chickens I have in mind that I know to be nice, and go from there. I’d like him to have a buddy this winter, but I won’t just put him in with a potentially mean coop mate. Do you think it would be alright if he went through the winter without a buddy and I bought a chick in the spring that would grow up with him? I feel bad if he was by himself. Now that he can move, he likes to lay in my lap and snuggle up to a stuffed duck at night.
How will he be housed during the winter?
If a bird is in good condition and health, they can generally handle cold winters fine as long as they have protection from the wind/elements. Dry housing would be important in my book too.
With him needing special care winter may be more difficult for him. He's not quite able to roost yet and he does "lay down" stay on his legs quite a bit too correct? He would need adequate protection from cold ground/floor so cold does not transmit to him over along winter night - deep bedding may be sufficient - it all really just depends on where you put him I suppose.
I do know where you are coming from and having a buddy would be nice for him, chickens do like company. The buddy may or may not snuggle with him at night - most chickens like to roost, so the buddy may do that instead. But during the day, they will likely socialize.
Please do understand, I'm not trying to discourage you at all here...I just try to look at all the pros/cons of each situation. I know you want the best for him and you feel bad that he's alone.
