    Thanks! Yes! I actually learned something about them when I was trying to find a reference. I guess there's a King penguin that looks similar, but the markings around the neck is how you can tell them apart.

    Review by 'Lacy Duckwing' in article 'How to make a homemade glass waterer!'

    Interesting quick waterer design. It looks like it would work well for a smaller flock or if one needed to separate a couple of hens. The water does look like it's spilling from the bowl in the picture, which wouldn't work in a coop, but a taller bowl would probably help. As far as using a...

    I think everything has been on a very tight schedule this year and the team is working hard on it all. Please be patient! This all takes time and there's a lot of behind-the-scenes work that goes into this. When all is decided and everything is ready, the winners will be announced in this...

    It should heal by itself. It's more of watching how well the pecking order is going. I *suspect* you might see more of this in the adjustment period on him, and might see it on the hens as well. I think the biggest thing to look out for is if he (or the hens) start getting slices in their...

    Colony Nester: Day 27 I went with an Emperor penguin for this one. I was looking forward to drawing this one for awhile, though I did have a little bit of a hard time finding a reference for the view I was looking for.

    He already was exposed to the flock by the time the OP found him.

    That looks like it's from him fighting. I would keep an eye on it for safe assurance, but it's not anything to be too concerned about from what I can see. They're just small cuts. I have a couple of hens who have small comb injuries like that right now from their everyday pecking order.

    Stray Rooster

    Ok, that's good. From what I've seen, a rooster can typically tell if a hen is laying or not, so that might be why he's leaving them alone. Some people hand feed their roosters, and I've done so myself, but yes, I'm aware of the horror stories. Most roosters won't attack if they're eating out...

    He looks like he's doing fairly well! I did notice that it appears like a couple of your hens are molting? Those hens might take longer to warm up to him because their pin feathers are hurting right now (and they don't want to be touched as a result). That's actually quite normal. I've had...

    Wow, that's cool and funny! I was about to say something about the pumpkin probably is going to look like that when they're done. 😅

    It's because they had to edit in your picture. When you upload your image as a thumbnail, it makes it hard for those doing the Spreadsheet, so the moderators will edit in your picture as a full image.

    Oh, wow, she does! I'd think at this point she'd be leaving a trail of feathers for you to find her, but those probably are blending too. :lol:

    How old is she? Some chickens lose their color as they are. I've noticed it the most in the Buff Orpingtons. As they aged, they got lighter.

    Cool! I never knew how people got chickens to peck in specific spots like that. I always figured people carved the pumpkins first, then let the chickens go after them. It definitely makes the carving more unique when the chickens do all the work. I'd love to see it when they've 'finished.'
