My college degree is in medical billing and medical administrative which meant a semester of both anatomy and medical terminology and disease and pathology. Add to that caring for a terminally ill parent for five years and anyone would come out handy in a medical crisis.
I think I might have...
@ChooksNQuilts , what BEAUTIFUL boys! What kind of cross is the buff gentleman at the bottom of those pictures?
@Folly's place He had an epi-pen; his condition was known. My mother in law was him and his brother, my nephews, while his parents were visiting family in Florida. We all got...

This story has me cracking up! Thank you for sharing the adventures of Rocky the Rooster with me :gig
You all, especially @Chickassan and @Mrs. K have given me a lot to think about. I'll be doing more research before making a decision.
I was, naively, thinking of him as an addition that can...

1) Chicken math!
2) Protection
3) Have increased our flock size
4) Eventually chicks!
Ideally he'd eventually be in charge of all seven. My hens are 11 months old and consist of 2 barred rocks and one Buff Orp. My pullets are about 10-12...
