@BlueBaby - this is just not right! hahahahaha
@meetthebubus - I noticed one of my BO girls had "something" dark on her legs - kinda up high so checked her out - it was scaly and scabby. Her legs scales looked like they were raised. So cleaned her all up, loosened the scabs and got them off and then used vaseline on her. It takes about 10 days of this to clear it up. A vet suggested the gasoline method so will be checking that out as I think I have one definitely and maybe two other that need the specific treatment. Day one you dip the legs in gasoline which kills the mites and begins suffocating the nits. Allow the legs to dry then rub A&D ointment on them. Day two apply only the A&D ointment and on Day 3 repeat the day one application. That completes the treatment. It does mean holding them separately but its only 3 days. Then you have to clean the coop, nests, and whatever else is out there!

I think those thing's that I gave the link to would be more for people that want to have chickens as house pets, or for those who want to claim having a chicken as an "emotional service pet"?

HELP! Is this a roo or a hen? I see it bumping chest with the roo a lot. So now it has me wondering whether it’s a boy or girl roughly 16-20 weeks old

Looks like a hen to me. Maybe she's just a feisty gal?
PS I am jealous of all that green grass you've got!

I thought it look's like a pullet too, although I am not familiar with the peacomb ones. Maybe it's the girl who is going to become the lead hen. It does however have one black tail feather that look's to be curving down a bit.

Good!! I don’t want another roo!!! And thanks. We worked really hard for that green grass!! We are flood irrigation on 4 acres and had to re level a lot of it and lost most of the grass. Planted new but it has been a long process
