I had the same thing just happen to me. So far, I have had 50% of my new chicks turn out to be Roo's. When Blueberry (blue partridge) crowed, at 2 months, I went 'okay, well it has a twisted beak anyway'. Then my beautiful buff partridge, Peaches, crowed last week- at age 10 weeks. That...
Actually it is a fact-- human population has, in some area's, extensively encroached on wild habitats.
I have noticed, during extreme droughts or extreme winter's that we (people) have more encounters with wildlife moving into (sometimes far into) human population centers.

A few years ago, I was driving into the parking lot- of where I used to work- and saw a Coyote. Was just standing there, in the company drive- bold as brass and not moving away from my car approaching it.
It was the biggest Coyote I had ever seen in my life. If not for the color and head, I...

It's the latest upgrade to BYC. Lot's of us are having issues. I finally got so fed up with it that I downloaded Firefox (free, open source Browser). No issues, with that Browser (that is what I am using now).
I hate using two Browsers (I.E. & Firefox) but there is no help for it.

One has pneumonia (she has a genetic immune disorder (she is spayed)). She will be seven next month and has had pneumonia seven or eight times (her sire died at 8 years (young, for a Pom) and the breeder never said a word about his issue and bred him a LOT (don't get me started on people with...
I know this is older, I've been dealing with three sick dogs (one had to have a blood transfusion to save her life) and am catching up from posts in late Sept.
I am SO sorry to hear about your birds. I am on some Facebook Serama pages and I have heard the same thing from a number of Serama...

I have a friend who lent me one of her heat lamps and while the bulb was 250 watt, the "lamp" was a regular drop lamp with a 100 watt limit. She could have burned down her garage. She never noticed the little lable with the watt limit and went for the cheaper item.

My former husband thinks that I am going through some kind of weird mid-life crisis, so you're in good company!!! I just enjoy them and the happy noises, that they make, are very soothing to me.
Take photo's, and post, when you get your coop all set up. Love looking at other people's set...

However, to be fair and not make it seem like we are picking on the guys, I did bookkeeping and HATED to do my own bookkeeping. I did it for 10 hours a day, five or...
