All flocks have a pecking order. The PBR hen I have, I had to spray on some wound care, because she received a peck that caused her re-feathering area to bleed. She is at the bottom of proverbial pecking order very literally.
I hear you on that one! Today is yard day but at least it is nice out and no 110* yet
Lucky has made it home safe and sound. My wife took some pictures we can share later, hopefully they took well through the thin wire we have to keep the snakes, etc, out. After shortening his spurs and a brief wing clip he went to eating, getting on top of the roost, impressing the lady hens. He let his crow be heard wide and far. He appears to be happy, and already ruling the roost. He is a very pretty rooster.
I'm glad! I wish I had remembered to pull the babies out for some sun time before y'all left. I am sure she would have had a blast with tiny fluffy butts!
Your family is beautiful, by the way. I'm glad Lucky has such a caring little girl to obsess over him like I'm sure she will.He's already being himself, a big crowing flirt. That's awesome. Can't wait to see pictures of his new ladies!
