Story Away!

Yay!!!!

There must be something in the air or we've chicks coming into their big boyness at the same time. Mr Lola, the poorly marked cochin I got back cause the guy who bought as a baby can't have boys, has started nipping me! I think it has a lot to do with he wants to be down & wandering the house. I don't want him wandering all the time due to the potty issue. So, I go to pick him up...he doesn't like so he nips. This morning I "tossed" him outside. Well, the other boys immediately started harassing him. So, out I go to save the day. Unfortunately, it didn't impact his little bird brain that I could not only put him outside, but bring him in. Which, is what I did as he's been company for Sherlock.

I need to get my male to female ratio back inline & build some breeding pens. Which means, deciding who's staying & who's going. I really think with training/handling Mr Lola & the oegb would all make good showmanship birds. I just don't know how to get in contact with anyone about that. Mr Lola wants to be someone's baby. He's small enough that with a diaper or potty training he wouldn't need much space inside....oh, a crow collar too!!!! He has HUGE lungs for his size.

I don't think I could part with 1 of my oegb. The 2 I mentioned, I think I could. I'd miss them, but not as much as the other one. Trying to do some seriously objective thinking here. Not easy.

cute! what is a crow collar?
my australorp is going to need those spurs trimmed when they come in. he would not know how to use them properly otherwise.

I do....not really recent so the cockerel has really changed. I'll try for some more recent ones tomorrow. These are from within the past month.

It's a piece of velcro basically that goes around their neck to limit their ability to crow. I think it muffles it more than anything. Not sure, but I think I've seen DIY versions online besides buying.

I haven't trimmed anyone's spurs as of yet....thought about it, but will have to look into how before I do.
