Weird toes

[Maggiechrisman]

Hi friends!

One of my RK Polish has got some weird a** toes. They bend in different directions when it walks. It’s the only one of my Polish that look like this and also it’s beak has a flat spot in the middle of it with wide-set nostrils. Birth defect? Alien? Normal?

I'll assume that's due to old age or lack of excercise rather than poor genetics and/or inbreeding.

Shame on you!

. My dog got 3 in 2 days. A guinnea,

We have Guineas as well. I pray daily that something would come and eat them.

Probably not if they are mobile. Chicken cope with some seemingly impossible handicaps.

Man I bend down too quick and I’m f*cked for a few days

Oh I don't do sexing on Polish, but Basty will be able to tell you. As far as how not to breed a bird in a flock, depends on what gender it is. If it's a female, and you have other hens/pullets that lay the same colored-eggs as her, it makes things tricky. You'll have to eat/not hatch all of those. If it's a male, it's more simple. Don't hatch any eggs that come from the females he's with

Nice, so I'm not the only one with chickens who have weird feet. Must I admit to the 30s and not enough exercise too?

I’ve decided to remain 29 for the rest of my life and my birthday has been henceforth eliminated

 

[fluffycrow]

Oh my gosh how can you tell it’s a he? I was convinced it was a she now I’m questioning my other Polish

Post them here, Basty will be able to tell you in seconds. He doesn't want to admit it, but he's REALLY good with Polish

Thank you very much fluffy. You are very good at quite a few things yourself. Sexing chickens of course, but also making sure my spelling and grammar is up to standards
