Absolutely! I just got a lesson on that one. My BR got chewed to high heaven by my aunties little 1yo dog. This is 3+ weeks into it and the least gross photo I have. It was bad. This is her a few days ago marking a little more than 5 weeks.
Do I detect a bit of Brahma in your avatar roo?

I did not see your ration of hens, sorry, thought it was a 2-1 thing.
