    Rooster???

    so I think this white thing is a rooster, no? “She” was supposed to be a hen but of late she’s been grown a ton, her tail is really pretty and she’s always been a little aggressive.

    Eye Problem?

    This is one of our new spring chicks. She’s always acted a little strange and has had these - what I think - are strange looking eyes.

    What is Wrong with My Jersey Giant???

    Hope you can help me again: my jersey giant, Blue (isn’t she pretty!!) has been wandering around with this raw, red bottom for a few weeks now. She’s eating and acting normal.
