    Bump on Bantam's back

    Went to feed my OEG and saw a fairly large bump next to his right wing. I have no idea what caused it. He just recovered from being covered in mites/lice and also just got pullorum tested. He moves the leg and wing fine and acts fine otherwise. He is supposed to go to a show in a month...

    Duck with injured leg!

    My one duck (a call duck crossed with khaki Campbell, I think? The person I bought her from said she was khaki, but she's way too dark and looks a lot more like a call duck) Has been limping for about a month now.

    Correct comb for Old English?

    I have a show tomorrow and I was wondering, what's the correct comb type for Old English? And, how can I tell if my rooster's comb is a dubbed single comb or a rose comb (Since some people cut it right above the head and others don't)?

    Stolen rooster!

    Note: we have him back now! I was showing at a fair, and when I went to pick up my chickens, my roosters cage was empty & latched. I checked the champion row, because he won best OE and hadn't been moved the day of the show, but since it happens often I didn't bring attention to it. He wasn't...
