No, not new. 🤔. I would have noticed it Monday morning when I fed them. If anything yesterday afternoon. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I’ll leave it alone if it’s not gonna give him emotional scaring. Don’t want his ego to be that badly damaged. We like his crowing at 6am

Yes

Found my Rooster with a torn comb this morning. Like from top to bottom. Do I need to sow it back together? Will it heal?

Here were his legs this morning.

Wait I’am being corrected by my wife. he is coming on 12-18 months old. Physically he looks good. No bumble foot, he is good at protecting. The last rooster I had was a RIR and he was always mating always crowing always protecting. So this one is new to me and just was getting worried the hens...

I have a speckled Sussex about 24-36months old. He is not interested in mating. Hasn’t meen in about 6 months. The hens will back up to him and squat then shake their tail feathers and he is clueless. Like he is no longer interested he is huge and big combed so I wouldn’t have thought it was...

A friend had someone drop off 5 eggs to incubate and she is curious what this one breed is. They are all different breeds. This one has a beard. So not sure. What do you guys think?

The one on bottom just got down raising babies. So I can see that. She is probably bottom of the pecking order. The one on top maybe middle of the pack by my food and mating observation but I’m no chickenologist. Just a watcher.

I actually have 1 rooster and a cockerel that knows his place. The rooster tolerates him. He is probably 18 weeks old.

Lol and I’m being completely facetious with the gender fluid. I realize mating isn’t physically possible.

Like mimicking the rooster feet on wings, tilting back and trying to touch vens kind of behavior. Like that’s normal?

So I noticed something strange. I saw a 3 year old hen mount another hen and do the booty bump thingy that the rooster does. What the hey hey?!?!

So it’s been long enough. And I will say the eggs didn’t make it. There will be more communication and I will also mark the eggs just In case someone wants more eggs to eat. Sad day.....

I will update! Here’s to wishful thinking and prayers!

🤮🤢 Nope!! Not today!!

I find that when my hens hatch out eggs it could be 21 or could be 25. I don’t know why that’s just what I see. So when I candles the egg 2 days ago you could see through it. And when I just candles you still couldn’t see through it. Like no veins or anything just an air pocket and darkness.

So I today was a good gumbo day so on my way home I told the wife to make some potato salad. Well about 7 minutes later I make it home and head to the back yard to see if chicks have hatched because we are like 1-4 days out. I go and there are no eggs under momma. Oh no! Panic sets in! I ask my...

This morning I saw an 8 week old cockerel run and mount 2 full grown hens!! Like grab the head feathers lean back and try to make his vent touch theirs. One was his surrogate mother! Is that normal? This hens are 3 times his size. Hahaha 😂

Ok I ordered pullets but this one seemed to be bigger and grew the comb quicker. She is almost 50% bigger. But doesn’t act like the cockerel I ordered.

This is one of the others.
