    Pullet? 3 week old leghorn

    Official BYC Poll: Do You Wear a Mask or Respirator When Cleaning Your Coop?

    That is not neurotic though. I'm assuming he's on one of the modern miracle meds of recent years, but even so, he shouldn't be going anywhere near the birds at all, really.

    The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread
