    And post wallow. What's happening with his chest?

    Glais' wattles aren't even slappy flaps; they're face curtains.

    Why did the verb lecturing result in such angry men? This seems more like screaming at, chewing out, berating, castigating, scolding, vituperating...

    A good old-fashioned wattle-off. If there's a wattle-waggling contest, Andre would join that. He loves to swing his face flaps, any time something makes him happy. Oldie but goodie:

    Glais' comb and wattles seem to be bigger every day! Reaching @fluffycrow's Kolovos level.

    Tax for tomfoolery: calendar-contest entry this year of Miss Lorraine.

    Huge comb/wattles already. As Perris says, he'll be well blessed in the head ornament department.

    I do have tax photos from last week, from after Stilton risked his life to distract a little hawk. It's the 2nd time this year I've witnessed him do this brave thing while being stalked by a hawk: Stilton will chase the hens to cover, but instead of diving to safety with them, he sprints to a...

    After her 2nd molt, Peck has more speckles than ever. Lil Nugs has the same amount of speckles each year. I don't have a photo from this week since I'm visiting family (and missing my chickenbirds very much). Relevant to this thread: I went searching for something to sip while cooking dinner...

    Adding hens will be interesting, particularly with you not being there all the time. Of course a 2nd coop and a few extra feed/water/grit/calcium stations should head off most concerns. Did you replace the Nestera yet? On them not wanting to range as much: we're seeing a lot of that here! It's...

    Yikes! Hope everyone is alright!

    With Glais, maybe he's just going through various phases as a youngster and is still adjusting to the difference in terrain and to his new responsibilities, as well as the loss of his old chicken family? We adopt a new "old brown dog" every time one of our old, old brown dogs passes away. They...

    I have input! Merle Hagbird was a bad biter, from the random hard peck to trying to wrench off whatever he had a hold of (jeans, shoe, hand, etc.). Having no reaction helped some; I think Merle was testing how to control/move me. Hens might make a loud noise and run off, but I was a rock when...

    😍😍😍 but also :hugs They have the self-possessed expressions of those who enjoyed purposeful lives and many halcyon days.

    Thanks for the update! He was on an adventure.

    I'm sure I've shared this before, but on the topic of behavior coded from hatch: I was amazed when our first chicks – who were hatched by a machine and never met an adult chicken – gave the aerial-predator alert from the brooder when a butterfly flew past the window. [Actually, at first I was...

    He's handsome. He may run more of a risk of wooing than aggravating your hens 🥰 but I know you've found a balance with your roosters and didn't intend to have a bunch of speckled naked necks running around... He looks quite healthy for someone who's just been through the horrible trauma of...

    That was my question. In a photo in the first post about him, it looked like his spurs were still small. Perhaps they saw your other chickens and thought it'd be a good place to drop him.
