He’s a Blue Partridge Brahma with an incorrect tail set. It needs to be wider and lower. I have a rooster like this. He’s pretty but I would consider him a project bird. ( I should specify the BPB example)
I just washed her hind end that’s why everything is wet but she has smelly discharge which I’m sure is an infection. From what I was reading its Cloacitis but if could be bacterial,fungal, yeast, Protozoa or parasites. The book suggested rinsing with warm water and soap and I’ve been doing...
