I sure wish I could have brought you some pullets because that would have meant that I had had a better hatch rate this year. Hopefully next year.

QUESTION~


Any one ever experience their Wellie roosters wattles shriveling up and becoming very small. I looked in my chicken health handbook and can't find anything about it. Odin's wattles are shriveling up..they are slightly bigger than a quarter now. No signs or symptoms of illness, he is eating and drinking fine, no wounds, no nothing, he is very healthy and active, free ranging and playing and eating tons of bugs, comb and wattles are nice and red, no injuries........just shriveling wattles.

That's really strange Kim - I have no idea what it could be.

Thanks Kelly...it is strange. I have been watching him closely for the last few weeks and I just can't figure it out. It's not happening fast...just something that is happening. He used to have huge wattles that could be used as weapons but now they look like the wattles of a 4 mos. old.

I think that means he's gonna stop laying.
