Bee,
Do you have any idea how old BUD is?
I'm not sure but judging body, feathering, size and sex characteristic development, I'd say BUD is around 3 mo. old, if that. He's very tall for his age but he is really just a big chick. I know he may be on the big size for this kind of thing and I may not attempt it, but I was handling him today and he has very little feathering in that space and I was thinking, "Hmmmmm....wonder if I could yank his hoo-hoos and change his meat production, not to mention his attitude....."
Poor BUD...he's probably thinking, "What did I do to deserve this lovely~ but sometimes suddenly painful~ hell into which I have been dropped?".
