Thanks. This is solid advise. I have observed his spurs and I know it is not that sharp/pointy, but it is likely rough. We will file his spurs and have is smoothened for sure.

Here is a picture of Foggy that I took yesterday. The lighting is too dark to show off his feathers. This is Inky whose picture is hardest to take because she does not let anyone get nearby. But she has the most beautiful tail and feather, and above all, most fluffy butt. Her and Foggy are...

He is 11 month old now. They all are. I feel like there is a chance he will grow out of it... I'd like to think he is a good rooster but his ability to show that is limited by not enough free ranging. Every now and then we take Light out to social with her buddies while keeping Foggy away. At...

Thanks. I will go get some today.

On her right side under her wing, she had a big chunk of skin (approximately 4cm by 6cm) torn off from her meat. We could see hardened-off scabs with possibly dried blood on the skin that was falling. That is the injury. It's been almost 3 weeks that she is in the house. She seems to have gained...

Thanks for the answer on the chicken saddle. "I'm not clear what the "other bad" injuries are (?)". Sorry what do you mean by this?

Thanks for asking. She is the only hen hurt. Other hens are completely OK. She is always Foggy's favorite. My husband always says that Light is the best looking hen that we have 😅 . Foggy is the rooster (also my avatar). I have more pictures of other members coming up. The full story is that on...

Fluffy Butt Friday? This is Light's fluffy butt. In this picture, you can also see that she destroyed my Avocado seedling that was growing really well. Of course it was my fault. The second picture is her laying egg in the pine shaving bag. 😂 She has decided that she HAS to lay there...

Thank you. She is a commercial egg layer... (When I picked chicks in our feed store a year ago, I had no idea about breeds) She was sold as a "golden buff", which seems to be the same as golden comet. She is quite content being a house chicken, as long as we respond to her calls😆. I feel like...

I did a quick fact check and the result is that you and Bob are both celebrities, Okie dokie?😉😎

My babies said Thank you.

Yes I am reading many pages a day of Bob's thread and hoping to catch up in half a year or so ... With the rate it's going, occasionally I fall behind more if I get busy. I know it sounds silly, but I am sooo happy that Shad replied to me and Bob liked my posts. I feel like I finally met my...

Let's start with Light. She is currently a house chicken because she is injured pretty bad by the rooster during mating... She is getting better. @MaryJanet

That is adorable! I think I am reading about her growing up, integrating with your 3 princesses right now in Bob's great thread. (Is that Dotty or Minnie?)

I don't have great photos of them as a group, not too many individually either... I've been trying to get away from smartphones so it's not as easy as taking the picture and uploading. I only started raising chickens March 2021. I have a flock of 8 birds, including a rooster who I won't go...

Thank you! I do have chickens for the record.😇

@Shadrach Dear Shad, I have been reading your lovely chicken stories that you wrote in July 2018. They were the best stories I've read in years. I was also able to read a lot more about them in bits in BY Bob's super long thread (currently at 1700 page out of 7000+). Today I finally got an...
