    Re-introducing rooster to flock

    I pulled my two roosters out of my flock because 1 was balding and being pecked by the hens. I pulled the other one just so he would not dominate and I would have a fight to the death when I re-introduce my fully feathered senior. The junior rooster managed to make it back with the flock.

    Loose rooster spur: leave alone or remove?

    Hi all....how would you treat a loose spur? I noticed my Silkie "Buttercup" limping today and saw that he had dried blood around the base of his right spur. It is wiggly (I gently manipulated it to check) but intact. It almost looks like the spur itself is cracked lengthwise but hard to tell...
