It seems my girl has dramatically improved. She got out of her cage and happened onto Titus. I think she is ready to return to the coop.

Hah, I think Titus wants to know if she is a squeaky toy. Funny video

Can we start up a collection for me?

Been there, done that........

I highly dislike people. So the lady I know, pet sits. And a house she pet sits has a coop. There are four left. Everyone else died. The coop hadn't been cleaned since November. So four chickens are left with rotting bodies. Two roosters and two hens. We can take the hens. Sadly no roosters.

A splash silkie female and a buff orp I'mpretty sure.

Feel bad for them

Tap, that was so cute - the world's feistiest silkie! Love the Ninja-kick.

As far as pigments in the skin, it is well established that birds with yellow skin will store pigments such as those found in corn (and other pigmented foodstuffs such as greens and marigold petals) there - a simple search for skin pigment will give you that information. White-skinned birds do not store the pigment in their skin (or legs if white-legged), but do in body fat. As yellow-skinned and -legged birds lay, the pigment is mobilized into the egg yolks and the skin will fade - one way of identifying good layers.

I love it when you share stuff like this!

Fuzzy, I hope she gets better quickly.

Here, kids and hens are tired of being cooped up. So, backyard sledding.... My daughter makes frequent stops, and no one gets off. Seems like they might enjoy a little ride around the yard.

Yes, that path was taken. And many people were there and helped to keep me out of jail. I can't thank you all enough.

A bonus to that was that it really POed the local authorities.

No, she is the pet sitter. It's a man in charge of these chickens. I'm not sure of exact details, just the stuff the pet sitter told us.

It'll heal right up...as long as there's no swelling or infection, and is probably past the point that would happen by now.

I had one guy get quite a large patch of black on a wattle a month or so ago, if you didn't know what to look for you'd probably never notice it.

Thanks, there is no swelling or infection, was just worried cuz it went from black to a beige color.
