    Seriously! What’s wrong with my girls?!

    They do have water. We pulled something out of one of the sisters, but not the other, and they both have it. I’ve washed them several times, but it only looks like it’s getting worse.

    Seriously! What’s wrong with my girls?!

    I’ll post a video: These white crusty buns have been like this. I posted another thread about it, because one of the two black hens had some time of organ tissue come out of her. Unfamiliar and emergent, I immediately pulled it out, later to find out that wasn’t the best idea. She’s acted...

    Barred Plymouth Rock rooster/cockerel with BROWN feathers?

    When I got him I estimated he was born early/mid April, but I think I guessed wrong.

    Barred Plymouth Rock rooster/cockerel with BROWN feathers?

    I have a notification saying someone asked what he looks like now, but I don’t see it on the thread. Here’s a video: — Any idea how old he is? — Any idea how long until he’s (physically) fully grown?

    Barred Plymouth Rock rooster/cockerel with BROWN feathers?

    When I Google Image Search that photo, I only find two things. I don’t know if this is a “breed” or plumage, but I see “black link” and “Cree.”

    Barred Plymouth Rock rooster/cockerel with BROWN feathers?

    UPDATE! Winston has a breed! Found him in a video. There seems to be a few of him, but no identification. It’s at 0:28, but I’ll attach a screenshot. https://www.google.com/search?q=rooster+crow&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:40e90dad,vid:K3CenN7d30Y,st:0 My...

    Rooster crow "echoing...?!"

    Maybe it's that Vanquishing Twin Syndrome thing wherein one twin consumes the other yet remains forever attached... inside, crowing along...

    Rooster crow "echoing...?!"

    Haha. I got a little lost imagining it all.

    Rooster crow "echoing...?!"

    It really is a rather worrisome sound! But it's one of those inappropriate-laugh situations where I can't seem to NOT laugh despite my genuine concern. Chickens are weird enough creatures to observe already. Roosters even more so. And a rooster in puberty supremely. But this "warble" is a whole...

    Rooster crow "echoing...?!"

    I love to hear that! Thank you! So it's called a warble? That's quite adorable. He started it almost immediately after taking many stealth sips of my La Croix. I was worried it broke him. We are also experiencing, within the same time frame, a cool front, a molt, and a dry comb. Wasn't sure if...

    Rooster crow "echoing...?!"

    Yes, haha. That is my outdoor one. But no, the sound I am referring to comes straight from his little throat immediately after the initial crow. It's happeneds dozens of times since, with each crow. My wife had to hear it in person for the video to make clearer sense. I will try to get a better...

    Rooster crow "echoing...?!"

    HAHA! But what is "it?" What is this new echo that comes after each crow? He sounds like he swallowed a kazoo!

    Rooster crow "echoing...?!"

    Also, on a side note, (I still need to research, but) any suggestions on why his comb is always dry and peeling? Is it maybe because he is growing, or possibly insufficient diet? He does have a history of fowl pox, but has yet to cause any serious outbreaks/scar tissue.

    Rooster crow "echoing...?!"

    So, I could write a bunch of words, but I really think the video speaks for itself! I waited a day to post to see if maybe it stopped, but it definitely has not. He's happy and (seemingly) healthy, currently checking out his handsome reflection in the dishwasher's collection of clean, silver...
