I have a hen like this. For some reason the others like to grab her butt feathers. I think it's because she hogs the favorite nest box.
They can pull feathers at night on the roost too so you may not see it when it happens.
Do you have an Amazon Prime account? If so, it comes with free photo cloud storage called Amazon Photos. It allows you to share albums with friends and family. I don't believe they have to have Amazon to see them.
Just an update. Beau was fixed a couple months ago. He's 16 months old now. Hasn't had any mounting behavior since. I've been bringing him into the goat pen when I'm there to supervise any chance I get. I did get an e- collar but have never used the shock function because the noise (beep) works...

Absolutely beautiful. I'm glad you guys were able to get help! We have bald eagles here in East Texas certain times of year and it always amazes me how massive they are. They dive into the lake to catch fish!
Haha thanks for the backup!
I've set myself a cap of 20 and I've reached that. The only way I'll get more is if I start butchering the older ones. And they're still all perfectly healthy and laying nice big eggs.
As for goat math... that's another story. I'm getting a weaned baby girl at...
The green is really lovely! I have 5 different shades. The darkest one is also my largest one so it definitely pops!
BCM x CCL are what produced those colors.
