He's pretty. My game cross has the samething, but his other one hasn't grown, & remained a small bump. One of my Red JungleFowl hybrid hens has a spur.

Thanks!!

Yeah, I was just super surprised.

Someone once told that a double spur bump is a genetic defect. I don't believe it is a defect.

Weird... I agree though.

I guess I would think that a defect (not talking about breeding to a SOP) is something that would negatively affect the chicken (curled toes is what I'm thinking).

Are you talking about adult birds with crooked/curled toes?

Yes? I mean I know that crooked toes can come from vitamin deficiencies too... Maybe just chicks?

Well, let's change the subject...

What's everyone doing tonight? I'm currently sitting on a brick in my chicken coop... I need to finish locking them up. It's quite peaceful in here.

Good news, my fluffy broody pancake named Dottie, is no longer broody!

But....the important thing....is she still a pancake?

Well, she's still very fluffy...

Good morning, all!

She is exactly what my 2 look like. We have 3 Faverolle, 2 just like this and one with black markings all over her. How'd that happen? Good Morning!

Hmmm.......her fluffiness makes up for her lack of pancakiness.....put just barely. Fluffy baby!
