They are about 3 months+ old.
I 'believe' (see what I did there?) that @BY Bob was referring to the use of calamine lotion on chickens.

Your chickens are so beautiful and I love the coop!
That’s alright, if you want to talk about squash then gourd right ahead and do so!Gosh they are HUGE now! how do you keep them so clean? @Ponypoor : as long as they have water to bathe in, they pretty much keep themselves clean! They are definitely smaller than the adults - but they are pretty big. A lot fo 'fluff', though, as they only weigh (I'm guessing) about 10-12 lbs. The female is the smallest. They still need to 'fill-out' to get to adult size/weight.

Most of the blossoms won't bear fruit, thought - it is still flowering up a storm - and we generally get a first frost in a couple of weeks, and a killing frost in about a month. I'm hoping I can get a couple dozen fruits to give to the chooks for boredom busters over the next few weeks. I've found 2 and harvested them - they need to be gotten youngish before the skin starts to toughen - while the flesh is still tender, too. The only other ones I've seen so far are about the size of a quarter or a silver dollar - still a ways to go on those!
Squash/gourd tax talk:
a couple of 'tweens' (and a fluffy butt bomber), in the cute honking stage! Honks are starting to change, though, so I am guessing in a week or two they will start to sound like adults.
I have a few honkers here, they are about that age also.Gosh they are HUGE now! how do you keep them so clean? @Ponypoor : as long as they have water to bathe in, they pretty much keep themselves clean!

Only 5 (for now
). We either need to seriously modify our crappy little prefab coop or buy/build a bigger one before we can add more
What a sweetie! I'm a sucker for Dom's. Our Dana has one wattle hang shorter than the other too!
