:lau That is adorable!

Feels like an early Spring here! Temps were bumping 80'.

"This is food and this is water..."

How bad a problem is the color difference between Bubba's wattles and comb?

You did well young Grasshopper ! :thumbsup

Yep, Steve is all Silkie. Roo looks mostly Salmon Faverolles except he looks crested. Faverolles have a reputation of being very docile.

I was thinking the same thing! :gig. I don't paint my toenails but my wife does. Her little Silkie rooster is as gentLe as a lamb but one day he pecked the fire out of her bright orange pink big toe nail.

Your uncle is likely correct. There are a few things you can try, though. You can put him in his place by confronting him and holding him down as a dominant rooster would a subordinate. If that works it will only be when you're around. He may still try to flog the children. You don't want...

I agree!

Wow what a neat story!

I have a pair of white pullets with a cockerel. The hens have spent all their life together and are so in sync now that lay at the same time. It's so cute watching them in the nest box together.

That's a great looking hatch !

So, they didn't have food all day til evening then they gorged themselves when you fed them. How old are they and what did you feed them?

Are you talking about their crop?

Judging by his size, stance, and posture I'm guessing cockerel. I have two blue males that started crowing at eight weeks. That's when you'll know for sure. Do have anything crowing near him?

Mine are in shade with plenty of air flow. I did have to buy a small fan and hang in our big brooder today. It's completely shaded under a shelter but needed air flow. The fan was only about $6. A couple of weeks ago I think I had heat for them at night. I just put ice in their water.

Gorgeous! Congrats!

He is stunning!
