You ever seen two guys that play well together with a female involved, regardless of species?

These little guys are exceptionally bad... but your right.

My roosters don't fight.

They really grow on you as long as you do not have two roosters in the same cage/pen. The boys do not play well together.

I have 2 Phoenix brothers, they get along well. I don't like one of them though, cant put my finger on it. He just seems to be a hen bully!

Other than the comb they look a lot like my Yokohamas.

My EE roosters fought until the second one stopped going around the girls. He doesn't care if he's in the yard, or around the other chickens, but not the ones he considers "his" girls. LOL

I'm a teeny bit worried about Torvi.... She acts a bit odd and keeps pasting up. She's small, which I expected due to her air cell, but her belly seems much larger than it should be?
Hopefully I'm just being paranoid.

Kari, on the other hand, is nearly doubled in size since hatch, eats tremendous amounts of food, and climbs on the heating pad....

Have you tried electrolytes, or Probiotics on her a little yogurt and maybe reduce the temp a degree or two?

I have not tried that yet, I will mix up a batch and see if that helps... They're under a heating pad, so no chance of overheating.

I beg to differ on the over heating under a heating pad. This one may just be cold blooded like me and standing against the pad longer than she should.

What setting is the pad on bring it down one degree... I have found pasty butt is normally over heating.. I hope the yogurt or whatever helps.

I hate having a sick chick! Good luck!!

LOL, that's possible.... She seems reluctant to leave it, and peeps loudly if taken away from the warmth for too long. I'll turn it down a notch.
