Are they running with hens?

Yes, they are with the flock. Pingu is one of my EHAL cockerels, and Rocky was hatched in March.

So do I, but I'd have to take 'em off the truck first

LOL!!


I have two half rotted tires with grass growing through them if anyone wants them.....

Yea.... Not surprised Pingu was involved, but I didn't know rockhead even knew how to fight!

I have a spoiled rotten rooster. He even has 2 hens and still VERY tame.

Cute!!!!!!

I can't seem to force the foot straight..... Does it matter if it's a sheer, plastic or fabric one? I think I did it wrong because I was worried about the sticky part and put fabric between the foot and bandaid ... I realize the ridiculousness of that now. Gonna try again.

did you figure it out?

Day 18 for one egg is almost up! Can't wait to have more babies! It's too quiet in the house

Well, it looks like either Pingu or Rockhead needs to be gone by next week.... After growing up and getting along terrific for all of their lives, including that morning, both cockerels were bloody when I got home today.
Rocky is a white silkie, he had so much dried blood on him that his front looked almost like a partridge silkie. Pingu's head and neck was so red he looked like his throat was cut!

Teenagers.....

They were both beating each other up pretty equally..... Pingu got the worst of it though, cause he's 1/4 the size!
