It could be vitamins but likely it is genetic. To be safe, do not use him for breeding.

Of course you still could and watch out for curled toes.
I had a rooster that showed no leg issues, but every boys from his pen had curled toes. Culled that rooster and all toe issues disappeared.


Not sure what to do yet.

You could use him for breeding and see if he passes on curled toes. Hi might be fine if you are using not closely related hens.

creeping in sneakily, slightly out of breath. No energy. Had "that" flu and yesterday was the first day I could keep solid food down. Seems NOW as if a week just flashed by without me, but during that week I felt like I was stuck in one, long, awful string of the same horrible moment over and over. I thought I had food poisoning, but friends who had the flu tell me my symptoms mirrored theirs.

Well, perhaps they didn't experience the blankety-blank FLY which decided to crawl into my left ear during one of my not-puking periods of inactivity. Not kidding in the least.

Note to anyone who may be paying attention: do not try to get a bug of any kind out of one's ear canal with a Q-Tip. This tactic is very high on the Stupid List.

Either I need to get out more... Or less.

Loved the Family History tale as I caught up with over a week of posts.

There is now a gate across the entrance to my Ranch property.

My contractor is busy for the next three months - thanks to the stupid warm weather we're having here in California - so I have some time to save up for Coop #2, which I have now figured out where I want it placed.

Whoops - just ran out of energy again. See y'all later!

Welcome back! Sorry you have the flu - I know how awful it make you feel. I hope you are getting lots of chicken soup.

Thanks for the laugh, and I'm sorry you have the flu. You've got to be feeling better, though... if you were really down you wouldn't care that the fly was in your ear.

For a bit of comic relief. My bantam menace was in a diva mood today. Every tie I pointed the camera at him he posed.

I am back from Yosemite. The drought is really impacting the park. Bridal Veil Falls was more like bridal ribbon falls. Many of the falls had dried up altogether.

None-the-less, it was spectacular.

I loved your storey Canoe. Thanks
