[Tab's chicken obsession]

Hi everyone! And welcome to all the newbies. I've had fun catching up on all these posts and enjoy hearing about all your adventures

I have a question concerning my four-week-old Australorp bantam pullet:
She's always had less feathers than her companions (all of which are different breeds) and she's not half as active, but she seems pretty healthy overall- eating, drinking, that sort of thing. But just the other day I noticed that she has two naked pits on either side of her neck, and the one on the right has two little lumps under the skin that I can move around with my finger. It doesn't seem to bother her at all, so should I be worried or not?

Good news! Shortly after my last post saying that I had pips, one of the eggs I didnt see pips on hatched out! I have a new beautiful blue silkie! I am hoping that by tomorrow morining I will have lots of new babies. I congratulated Little Man on becoming a daddy but he just gave me the stink eye and went to bed. Keep your fingers crossed that the rest hatch!

Are you talking about her ear ? Is this on her head or her neck .?

I'm getting pretty excited about chicken stock! I'm getting my Australorps, I have wanted them forever! Of course my dh is getting his SS also

Good luck on the hatch! Right now i'm not sure if I'll be able to make it to chickenstock after all or not. I'm having a hard time finding a new job so it all depends on that. I'm also still trying to decide on which egg chickens I want to get when mom orders the meat chickens (told her i would take care of the meaties if she gets me a few more egg hens haha) I think it will depend on the bantams, I want to see what genders I got because if I have a male then that means i'm going to try and hatch and I dont want to get over run.
