Can anyone tell me what breed my weird rooster, Oops, is?
Also, below is a pic of a little hen I bought together with Oops. Any idea what breed she could be? They are both fairly young,and I think they might both be bantams. Thanks for any help you can offer.
Also, we just lost our 2 year old Delaware, Hazel,yesterday morning. She was lying near the coop door, and I thought she was dead. When I opened the door, she opened her eyes. I picked her up and,OMW, she felt like feathers and bones. I rushed her in the house,and got a couple drops of Pedialyte in her mouth. She turned her head,leaned it on my chest and died.I chose not to have her necropsied.I went ahead and buried her. She was not acting herself the day before,but it's been excruciatingly hot here,so I just tried keeping an eye on her. I took this pic the day before she passed. She looked pretty plump and healthy,I thought. Darn, it's a good thing I just bought those 7 new 2 month old hens,bc we are down now to just three adult layers. Here's Hazel.
