thank you wildwestchick. Yeah it sucks because I've had them since they were a day old and have hand raised them and all. But I had my suspicions about them about a month ago when they started trying to "spar" up with each other and then I really thought they were roos when I saw how similar...

Wow, well that sucks. Not that they aren't beautiful but now I can't keep them and have to regime them. Oh well, thanks all.:idunno

Steelefarming, you think they are both roosters?

I don't know if this helps but here are some pics of them both as babies. "Ginger" is the smaller one in both pictures and "Scarlett" is the biggest one.

I looked at the pictures and it doesn't look like that to me. Her tongue looks severed to me. The vet wouldn't see her, they have no spots open.

So I go out to my backyard, where my chickens are, to check for eggs. I notice that one of my chickens, Honey my Buff, is off by herself which is uncommon for her because she is always with the crowd. I go over to her to see what is going on and this is what I find!! I have no idea what is wrong...
