Grammar Nazi indeed. Haven't learned the proper usage of there/their since I was first taught in grade school, so it's probably not going to happen.

I hear you. You're just like my friend - and sadly, my wife.

Did I ever post candle pictures here?

 

[BantyChooks]

No, whites, not that kind of candle.

@ChickenCanoe There was a smearing of blood on his waterer last night. What do I need to watch for? Are yours all ok?

You've got it. You're smart enough to come around.
I meant to say that it isn't an indictment on you. You just need to understand that for grammar/spelling Nazis it is akin to hearing fingernails scraping on a blackboard.

Brilliant. I think I remember that ditty.

I have blood smearing on all of my waterers and feeders.
The blood vessels are very close to the surface of combs and wattles. If you massage and squeeze them, you'll get blood to ooze.
Watch for swelling and heat. If there's a lot of swelling feel them and if there's extreme temps, they're infected. That doesn't necessarily mean they need meds. But since you only have one, just check for infection.
Over the years I've had lots of Mediterranean roosters with black tips and wattles. They all recovered fine though I'm sure they weren't happy.

this rooster lost his tips back in 2012/2013. He was sore a while but is otherwise healthy and unharmed. Been breeding with him off and on for 3 years now and still doing his job.
