Poor guy.

Looks bad, but I feel sure he deserved it.

Should I try to clean it up? I tried to catch him yesterday, but he doesn't like to be handled, so I let it go. I could get him off the roost tonight though.

Just don't put it in the wrong slot.

Didn't know there was a wrong slot

I'd just keep an eye on him to make sure his girls/flockmates don't peck at him. Combs bleed a lot from a little bit of damage. Mom always used to say, "It's a long ways from his heart."

You know what the beleaguered seaman said in the midst of the big storm.

Thanks. It could have been one of the girls that was the instigator too. He's been a bit.... um... rough lately. I thought it was because of having 2 hens with babies, his harem is a bit reduced.

Yes, I probably should take a look at it to be safe. Thanks!

I had the same problem at Subway today..... The lady behind the counter said "you need to push it in farther"....

She said it was kinda sensitive.... I couldn't make this crap up.....

o geez

New baby

Of course now I can't decide which picture to enter into the Cutest Baby Fowl contest again, lol. I really like this one too, darn it!

cutie!!!

Gotta be a phase of the moon. Just got off the phone with a friend and told him my story - he said that yesterday a clerk said very emphatically, 'You're putting it in backwards." He told her he'd never had that complaint before.

Not sure who this little fella ticked off, but I couldn't find "the other guy"

He's penned beside the chocolate orpingtons, and I suspect that he got too close in his tauntings of Bailey (who makes about 8 of him, size-wise), and Bailey must have gotten ahold of him through the fence.

ouch, i wonder if he got his comb stuck in the fence and did the damage just by pulling his head out
