    Bantam RIR... does one of these need to find a new place to roost?

    That would be kind of a bummer. :( I was supposed to get some seramas from a woman but she flaked on me so I ended up getting the two reds from a feed store near her house. This is what they looked like 4/21

    Bantam RIR... does one of these need to find a new place to roost?

    These two are approx 6 weeks old and are supposedly bantam RIR pullets, but since they came from a rather skeezy feed store, I have my doubts. The one up on the step was slightly slower to feather out and it's comb is just the teensiest bit bigger. In the beginning, that one was a little bit...

    Stray rooster breed... game bird cross?

    This little guy was brought in to the local animal shelter as a stray (roosters arent allowed in that town but that doesnt necessarily stop people) and we've had a lot of questions as to his breed(s). Any thoughts? They'll adopt him out once his stray hold is up.

    Stray chicken breed?

    I sure hope so. I keep telling my little jailbird friend that it would be most helpful to go ahead & lay an egg. They actually got in another stray red hen that I thought about going up to get.

    Stray chicken breed?

    Is that not this section? Or is there a specific thread to post in? No idea on age; they told me adult & I just brought the chicken home tonight, so nope, haven't seen any eggs or heard any crowing.

    Stray chicken breed?

    Adopted this stray chicken from the animal shelter today. She was picked up several days ago in not the nicest section of town and not surprisingly, no one came to reclaim her. She seems friendly & is quite easily handled though. I was thinking maybe some kind of game bird cross? She's pretty...

    Oh, sorry, meant to say roosters aren't allowed in town.

    Stray chicken...

    So a rooster for sure? He'll be put up for adoption when his stray hold is up tomorrow. Hopefully someone will take pity on him. I think they have him listed as a hen though, which aren't allowed in town. Some people even thought the little guy was a vulture at first.

    Tying a dead chicken around their neck

    My friend has my cowdog's littermate and she tried this after her dog played a little too hard with a chicken. She said it wasn't a malicious killing, probably more like a herding that went awry. The dog was caught red-handed so to speak, lectured that she was bad & had the chicken immediately...

    Watermarking your pictures: Better safe than sorry

    Always a good idea. Something you may want to consider though, if you're really concerned that you need to protect your images, is to move the watermarks up into the subject of the image instead of along the edges where they can quite easily be cropped out by evil-doers. Some photo-editing...
