There really is something not right with that!

As long as you've managed to stop the bleeding he'll be fine.

Yes, but really? I have the most accident prone rooster ever I think...

yes BOB, they do float. (I had to look it up to believe it)

They definitely float, all except little chicks. They do not float well enough.

Brown leghorn's name is Beetov-Hen. (because she's talented)

Love it!

I have one rooster (Notch) with no spurs atm. I've had two or three in the past who have managed to knock one off.

BOB, I wasn't speaking of poor Dusty, but I'm sorry that it happened.

All New Jersey cats are like that. (maybe it's the chemical plant waste)? I'm kidding. but, "find little snacks"

Well played!

This is good to know, thank you. One of Chickie Hawks Boys, that looked a bit Hen like for the most part of his youth, has finally gotten sickle feathers, some decent hackles and saddle feathers going, but at just over a year old no sign of spurs at all, no spur buds I could see. He is at another home, sold as a hen... and they are thankful (now) for him after a mink attack took one hen and injured another. He called out the dog or it would’ve been much worse. He seems naturally spurless, and he really looked just like his half sisters for ages!

I have my house rooster right here with me now. Partridge Cochin roo, I named Jaffar. He's a magical wonderful rooster (I wanted to share a little air conditioning with him) And maybe some meally worms.

So, if Bob doesn’t mind I will give everyone a little Barney update over here... here he is eating some soggy Honey Nut Cheerios this morning, remains of our dollar store emergency “feed” (it was literally these or fruit loops! I also gave the boys a full package of soaked plain rice crackers that day, it was the best way I could get them hydrated). On a side note, I also got two full minutes of rooster butt video while he was eating by mistake...

and for his beak progres @Aussie-Chookmum :

And his weird Spurs (his Brothers are completely normal) I kind of like how not-stabby they are with the amount of lap time he’s been having lately!

And the black stuff in the second pic is poop and grass on his back toe, please excuse it. My mornings are just so glamorous here! Yes, I took it off for him when I noticed .
