One huge none broody poop!
That's what a full grown Cornish X leaves as presents. You could slip on that thing.

55 Flowery Hen Awesomeness!
Of all breeds to absolutely love, I never thought it'd be a Leghorn variant. It's not huge, dinosaur looking, or any of the really rare breed I drool over. The 55F is rare'ish, but a simple Google search whil find you eggs. Still though, this breed is in my top 5 favorites. I just love the colors and kaleidoscope effect the sun had on them. They're pretty efficient on feed too, which is better than most of my favorite breeds.

Check out the feathered feet on those Golden Cuckoos. Beautiful feet.

Trying to find their place.
Now that the d'Uccle are free, they seem much friendlier towards me. They are such cute little things.

I don’t see feathers on the cuckoo’s feet, just flip flops.

I don’t see feathers on the cuckoo’s feet, just flip flops.

I can barely see anything without zooming in on them. My eyes are apparently that bad

I know I could start a new thread for this question, but you all seem like such knowledgeable people so I will just ask on here first. I have 5 drakes. Four hatched together in September (6 months old) and one hatched in June (9 months old). The oldest one doesn't even acknowledge that he is a duck so he isn't involved with this problem.

Problem: Past month the four have started "practicing" on each other except for Turner who is the one eyed, crooked-beaked, Buff. He just watches usually while the others mess around with each other. About a week ago I noticed them pinning the Buff down and just ripping out chunks of feathers. So I had been keeping an eye out to make sure it wasn't happening often. Well I walked out this morning to find a naked necked Buff and its bloody (not real bad) but I could see it was all bare and that there was blood before I even got to the coop... So I left the buff in the coop and let the others out to roam for the day.

Suggestions moving forward?

He’s the low drake and of course that means they will pick on him. I’d def keep him separated but fix the pen an coop where they can all still see each other. So when this crazies is calmed down they will still know each other.
