Daww, I missed Jake!

Hiya!!


Ah that stinks. I also am having some allergies too. But other than that I'm doing good. I got to hang with my best friend today.

Awww, I guess we're both in the allergy boat then. That's always fun!

Can I hav it? I wanna name it Dumplings

I think that would be an awesome name for a rabbit! Much more exciting than what my sister and I named ours, (Dreamy, Taffy, Sugar Muffin, and George. )

Okay, everyone, let's see what you make of this:

I only have these two chickens, and both are definitely girls. However, they both have long spurs, long combs, what looks like saddle feathers, and roo-like tails. Right?
So, why do my girls look and, sometimes, behave like boys (crowing, feeding each other, etc.)?
Anyone got any ideas?

Combs are normal, and they don't have any male feathering. Spurs aren't unusual in hens, and rooster behavior is common in flocks without a roo.

I had a sebright once who crowed and acted like a rooster... but also laid eggs, so she obviously was a hen. LOL Sometimes when a rooster is absent or when chickens are in tight confinement, they will behave rooster-ish.
