These are pictures of my cocerel Ozzy. He hatched early March. I posted about his ordeal after being traumatized by my dog.
He has turned into a beautiful, sweet bird
That's what i was afraid of. I have another bird that I desperately want to be female, but it's just not looking like it will happen. Its feathers and shape resemble one I am positive is male.
I have a 4 week old chick that is not eating and just sits or stands facing the wall of her tote. She was being picked on by her hatch mates as well.
I have her on a heating pad for warmth. Feed and a little sugar water to try to give some energy. It just won't hardly move.
Does anyone have...
It was a glitch in the matrix. All my birds were having a grumpy day. He is back to his usual good natured self. I think i was giving one of the girls too much attention for his liking.
He is my hig beautiful sweet boy. He takes his job very serious. He's a good Cockerel.
I did not acknowledge his behavior. I continued walking and went into the house. I will go out in a little while with some treats and see how things go.
No kids. Just DH and me. I will wait and see if this behavior continues. They were moved into a new coop and run last weekend, could this be causing the older birds to be a bit rowdy?
He's my only definite cockerel. I may have a couple in the grow outs still. He's never been one for touches or anything but he's never been aggressive at all. I'm chalking it up to just having an off day.
It's his first offense. All thr older birds seemed irritated this morning. I think i wasn't prompt enough about letting them out. He gets a defetrd judgement.
