I was out making a new chicken door on my coop. Smaller in hopes of keeping the Turkeys out. I do not mind the turkeys hens getting in and eating my layer feed, they may need the nutrients. BUT the toms that are short timers do not need to be in there. Besides they harass the chickens when they get inside.
While I was in there this evening it got fairly dark. I noticed Ed sitting on his roost. He always sits on a low roost close to the chicken door to the run. I think all good roosters sit by the door. to protect the hens. No proof of this just my idea.
I reached down and started petting his back. He did not run, did not fight, but was very vocal in telling me to leave him alone. He was pretty good about being touched though. I do not touch my chickens all that much.
I found a "new" EE in my coop. I never noticed her before. I have just enough EE that look alike so I do not pay attention to them. I never noticed the "blue" ear lobes.
I have pictures of her to show you, but you cannot tell Judy she was in the house. That would be a big No-no for her.
The photos do not show the blue real well.
And next question is this a wheaten? I know she does not have green legs but I still think of her as a EE.
