let me quote Dr. Sheldon Cooper: I am a man of science not someone's snuggle bunny!

woooooow wait a minute. The way you debate, me and silverfox were for certain you were a lady.

Not trying to be mean lol. Did you just put your name on your profile i could have sworn i looked a few weeks ago.

Edit. I guess that's probably the reason why i didn't get reported for the way i do my best to keep things nice and helpful. My way is very direct no snuggle bunny here either, most don't like it. Sry i should have known you were not a diva when i didn't get reported. Sry to hear a diva got your educator tag pulled. But debates are often only used to put people down. Sooooo ya.

If the base of the comb is crooked there isn't anything you an do. If just the tips are folding over, don't despair

With some birds there are growing times when there is not enough blood flow and the tips will be floppy and over to the side until the comb grows to it's proper length. As the blood flow increases and the tissues strengthen. and those tips will slowly start to rise and within a week will be up straight. Also, I had a backup Roo that was in a short ceiling coop for growing out and his tips stayed over until I put him in a 6+ foot high coop with a hen. Then all of a sudden this immature boy started to grow sickels, his comb straightened, and he started crowing (at around 7 months+). So sometimes it can be a space or lesser Rooster status issue too.

Day 21 of my egg incubation! I moved eggs from my girls into my mini Eco and eggs from Rinda into my octagon 20 Eco. One of mine was pipping as I got ready for work.

It's probably better that I am not there to watch. Every time I get to hatch time, I think there is no way these eggs are going to turn into chicks! And they do. Amazing!
