Are the hens similar looking to him? Our cuckoo hen is hatchery stock and doesn't show alot of white. Thanks for all the information as well as the funnies!

Debbi, he does have two legs! He has a tiny scratch on the top of his toe. I debated on the picture because he was holding his leg up, but he is pretty tough to get pictures of since the dominant rooster has him paranoid to stay in one spot for too long! Time to separate them!

Ok, phew! I was wondering how a one-legged roo was going to breed!

Nice boy.

Math,
I recently had to a need for antibiotics and all I could get locally was Duramycin. It did the job. When I was at The Ohio National, Don suggested I talk to Peter Brown the "Chicken Doctor". I asked him what the best antibiotic to have on hand was and he said Oxytet (Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride) His web site is www.firststatevetvetsupply.com

Tannis, I think you stuttered on the web site spelling. The link should be: http://www.firststatevetsupply.com/

Thanks for the link, by the way! I haven't had the need for any antibiotics here in years, need to re-stock!
