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
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.
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.....
