By looking at those thing's on the back. The male only has 2, but the female has 3 with the one in the middle being a bit longer. She uses that to lay her egg's.

That's interesting!

Guess I learned my one new thing for the day

@BlueBaby I went out to take a couple pics of my chickens today and found Angus sitting in the nest box. Crazy dood!

His daddy still does that. I think that he think's that he is preparing the nest for the hen's egg laying for the day?

@N F C Now you know the difference in case you even want to breed some cricket's, to not collect only the cricket's that have the 2 prong's poking out the back. You will need more of the 3 pronged one's.

I don't plan on breeding any crickets but the info could come in handy if I ever need to dazzle someone on a trivia quiz

It's so sweet. If the older girls would just give him a chance!

Maybe they're holding out for wining & dining or chocolates?

They probably will come around.

I gave the flock a square of the alfalfa hay in the pen yesterday for them to scratch around in. They like to eat the dried leaves that's in it.

Yeah my flock digs hay quite a bit. They have a ton around here to scratch around in. I went and bought them some cucumbers and I have some watermelon for them also.

It has been about a week since the other chickens left. I've been observing the flock this week and they're coming together nicely. My 3 big girls still spend most of their day together and Angus spreads himself between the Nn girls and Queen Cuckoo. Lucy is still playing the broody bit when he approaches her but he's no longer buying it. I noticed the other day that Angus seems to favoring his right foot and today it's quite noticeable; I'll bring him inside tonight and check him out. I have vetwrap and PRID so if it's bumblefoot I'm prepared. If necessary I'm going to order some tricide neo for him. We're going to lower the roost and take out the the one on the diagonal. Angus is a big boy and the big girls are heavy, if it's not bumblefoot then maybe he hurt himself jumping down from the roost. I candled the eggs today, it's day 7; tossed the 3 that were infertile. The other 3 look good though, I saw tiny chick shadows in them. Hatch date should be 7/24.
