Hi Everyone!!! I need some help. My poor roo's eye has an issue. Is it possible he was stung by a bee or a bug? (I do have honey bee hives that all of my chickens frequent to scratch, but it's 4 ft high). He was fine yesterday and we have no fighting on premises. I put his right eye in a pic...
I've been getting mixed feedback on my new roo, who is an angel (so far). Wondering whether he's a Wheaton Maran or a Wyandotte. Thoughts? He is gorgeous. Raised in captivity for a year, now he is on our free range homestead. It took him a few days to acclimate, but he's now the boss of our land...
So, this fine specimen,we call Cotton, tried mounting one of our hens today. Unless this is normal, experimental behavior, it certainly rules out it being a pullet. Any input? We already have a silkie roo, so we'd have to give him away. Thoughts?
Cool. We were thinking that it's a roo. We are still new to chicken boarding. It all actually happened by circumstance/naturally. We have a rooster already, so hopeful that it is a hen. She's pretty boisterous.
