    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.'

    Appreciation Post for Tank

    Awesome job, Tank! I always thought my first rooster, Kingsley, was a Welsummer, and he was an awesome protector of my flock, so I second that on them.

    That's looking good. They do seem a bit shy, but give them time.

    BYC Coming Across As Spam?

    That makes sense. I can see why you have it like that. There's times I probably should have everything off, especially when I'm trying to do something important like writing. Thankfully, I do have certain hours where everything is off, but that's typically late in the evening (when I should be...

    Day 24: Zygodactyl And no, I didn't do a dinosaur though that was what I thought of when I first read "Zygodactyl." 😅 I went with an under view of a Pileated Woodpecker.

    Yay, so you got him then, I take it? Congrats! As far as him eating first, he might be hungry enough that he just went for it, plus as of right now in all of their eyes, he's technically not the "man of the house" yet. One thing though, he's also young, so it might take him some time to learn...
