Well Big Guy is ok this morning... But... Punkin has definitely established himself as the dominant roo. Two of the girls went in the building with me and hopped up on the shelf to see Big Guy. Punkin came in and jumped up there and attacked Big Guy. Ran him to the other side of the yard. Now Big Guy is working the perimeter, and every time a hen goes near him, Punkin runs out and chases him further away.

So I guess I'll take Big Guy home for recuperating and then decide which one lives.

im sorry your havin problems with them boys

Awwee!!!!! So sad! . Well I too have sad news. So I candled the remaining 3 Silkie eggs and 2 crosses and no movement or cheeping. I water candled just to be safe and nothing. So I checked tapped into the air cells and they were all dead!!! . I lost all the silkies!!!! One had internally pipped then died because it still had to absorb it's yolk. The rest were fully developed. . Had all silkies hatched I would have had a blue, black, and a splash!!!! that hurts even more!!!

On another note:

Last CLB hatched...it's another boy!!!
However my first male jeeps sleeping with his head tucked underneath like this.

Is this normal??

Im sorry about your silks

What amazed me was at 86 he still tried to grab his caregiver's butt when he thought nobody was watching 

my father in law is that type

Today is day 4 of the antibiotic and he's doing much, much better! Thanks for asking!

Glad hes better!

I was also lookin for one from BYC910;

We sold the calf last night! I made a very nice profit, and were lookin forward to another one! e:

Is it definitely a live/cull scenario? That's a tough decision. I'm trying to imagine what I would do if it were Silas. You know how I feel about him, but at 4 years old you need to be thinking about the heir to the throne...
Glad I'm not having to make the decision

Punkin is locked in the run now, and I'm trying to determine if Big Guy can be his old self again or not.

Any way you can give Big Guy his own harem, away from Punkin? You evidently thought enough of what he throws to let him cover the girls where he was 'til Punkin ousted him; might be worth it down the road.

That was my thought. Give the old guy some young girls. That would perk him right up

Or flat out kill him! Either way, he'd die with a smile on his beak, & a lot of happy memories.

Big Guy is 3, Punkin is 2, the girls are less than 1, so they are already getting young ones

He is milling around with the girls now. I'm going to try to lock Punkin in a crate later, and for the night, and see if Big Guy takes the reigns back ok. He seems happy to be back with the girls right now, with no young buck threatening him. They are both good looking roos, Big Guy just has a stronger hold on my heart

Turk!! Great job selling that calf!!! And for profit too, you rock!
