Ok cool, thanks! Interesting, because none of the other girls have this going on! I imagine it's from the welded wire run and she's trying to peck at something on the outside.

I've got two lovely cockerels available in the Orlando/Daytona/Cocoa/Titusville, Florida area. One Barred Plymouth Rock and one Silver-laced Polish. Both are 14 weeks old and just started crowing. Both very friendly. Let me know please! I also posted them in the Florida thread.
