Okies in the BYC The Original

[Poco Pollo]

I hadn't thought about an eye patch for the injured cockerel. He doesn't even want my hand up near his head, so I think trying to cover one eye with anything that stays there would make him crazy. He has been at the feeder all by himself three times today that I've witnessed. His water is only half full, but I haven't seen him drinking, so I'm going to prompt him before bedtime. I hope he's drinking and I've just missed seeing it.

Yes, he did get a nasty thump on the head. He and another cockerel got into it, and the fight started on top of the coop. The white Chantecler took a beak in the head and then took a tumble off the coop. He landed hard. His symptoms mirror those of brain-injured Silkies. He is improving, very slowly, so I have hope that he will recover fully.

hello everyone, lots of chat today! Reading some of the posts got me to thinking if anyone knows where I can get info on breeding good quality Brahma's. Ive got five 10 mo. old pullets and a roo in light and two Dark hens, not sure of quality because I haven't seen many.Loved the reference to Rooster Cogburn, from Buster.

hey everyone...
I have a young welsummer roo under a year old that needs a new home....
He isnt getting along with the other rooster in that pen and I just dont have a
place for him. We can handle him and he will come up to you for feed. Free, free,free...
Our Royal palm tom is also looking for a mate or to rehome. We have had four hatches from
him and he keeps the peace with the roosters in his pen. He is a keeper but dosn't have a mate.
I would sale to you guys or trade. I hope to be at the next Blanchard sale so can meet.

Back in the day when you were able to spend time catching fish?

Glad you are going to address your esophagus problem - you of all people need to be able to eat whatever you feel like cooking.

Pullets are Light. Wanting to breed for good colorization and size. Two of them have no black on their backs but they are the smallest ones. I do not know if they are the same ages, I know one is definately a little older than the others.
