Here's Unicorn Boy. I keep pulling it. But It keeps growing back. Here's about a month or two ago. Been trying to sell him cause he's so rough with the hens, but no one wants a "defective" " Unicorn" Rooster . His daughters put out some pretty blue eggs. I should have took a pic of his...

It's not that hard after a few. I've had to sew up dogs cattle chickens and others after scraps with other animals. Main thing with crops is to make sure it's not gonna leak into the abdominal cavity, then stich the skin back. Even if you leave a "weep" hole, skin will gradulate back together...

This time of year he might be beginning to molt so you can see his pink skin under the feathers. He's a petty bird though! :thumbsup

I had a little ameraucana roo that had a unicorn horn once. He had a small white bony horn growing out of his comb. When I caught him to check it out, he jerked his head and it pulled out. It was hard like a spur and looked like an up side down incisor tooth. I planned to keep it but I...

Did you do the surgery yourself?

There's your problem. Hormonal teenager. Plus he doesn't have any older roosters to teach him manners and put him in his place. Other than with game breeds, it never hurts to have a few older roosters in the flock. They may scrap a few times but will iron it out between themselves. The older...

Looks like there may be more saddle feathers in those pics.

You might want to double check the rest of your birds, just to be safe.

If it wasn't a heat attack or fatty liver from too many treats, I'd rename the rooster "Rojo", and lock up all the cats, dogs, and any other animals you cherish. And if you see him lying on his back and there are buzzards circling, don't let him fool you. He ain't dead! He just wants some...

That's a good looking silkie you have there!

This is Buddy before he died. He was licking the wounds where Ducky was attacked by a predator. He was half Pyrenees and half wolf or coyote. He was raised by chickens from the time he was about a month old. They were his family and his friends. He got about 4 or 5 ass whippings as a pup for...

If he won't drink, add a good bit of water to his feed and mush it up till like thin oatmeal. It will be easy on his beak and he'll get water in him that way. Poor little fellow. :hit

Merry Christmas to all! :wee

You've been Hornswoggled! Tell them to give you your money back or that you'll post all about their thieving ways on FakeBook, twotter, instascam and all the chicken forums. Also tell them you'll be putting up flyers all around them letting people known what shysters they are. If that doesn't...
