What did you do with your flock today?

Ferdy is turning into some sort of Superdad! Stan is showing more and more interest in the ladies so I thought Ferdy would start chasing him off mercilessly. Not so! He's actually standing back and allowing him to mate with Pru and Penelope and only intervening if it goes on too long or Stan is too rough! When he does step in, it's just a loud shout and gentle peck. And he's still giving Stanley treats like the girls! I've never had a father/son roo combo before so I'm not sure if this is normal?
Poor Stan can't get any privacy with the girls - if it's not his dad watching his moves, it's his aunt Gladys looming over him!

my 2 roos are uncle and nephew and have been doing about the same thing! They've only had one fight a while back but not major.

I'm guessing there are gonna be a lot more chickens dropped off now that "everyone" thinks it's a good idea to start having em...til they don't. Ya know
He's a cute fellow. You have such a big heart and ability to work with em!

I'm really clueless when it comes to adult chicken problems! I'm sorry. Hopefully nothing serious though.
My 3 d'uccles have been fighting out a new pecking order since Coco and China have a new home. And one of em had puffy eye and a cut on top eye lid...and of course the comb. Could it be that?

I am actually surprised at how many people around here are selling their chickens. And to be honest I think a lot of it has to do with nobody wanting to pay for the price of eggs and looking for chickens that are at POL. So everyone with chickens is thinking, we can make money here. There is a lady that is selling black australorps that is like 5 min from me for $25 a hen. I have considered getting some from her but at the same time why…I can buy chicks that I know will have the Mareks vaccine and will be coming to me clean…I don’t know what that set up is like or what their property has as far as diseases.

Thank you!
I'll need them as if all goes to plan I'll be cage diving with great white sharks.

omg I sooo want to do this some day as well!!! I LOVE sharks! My oldest has fallen in love with them as well! I don’t think she would go in a cage but if she knew she would see sharks she would be in love!

I really think my guy is going to loose his whole leg. I don’t know this for sure but it is NOT looking good. However as you all can see there is still some good looking flesh. I want him to have a fighting change but I don’t want him miserable as well. I don’t know if I should put him down or what. I will probably wait to see what ends up falling off and if he has a hard time getting around.

And MORE!!! sounds like a total adventure! Most exciting

@ChicksnMore sorry about your baby. I hope this is as much of a non event as you can have. I know your birds are in capable hands.

Hoping today is a good turn around day for you @FBMcrazy8

And no more sneezes @Gammas Bearded Babies

Headed in the right direction with Molly @FrankieDoodle

Good health and forward motion as always @kurby22

I like the father & son dynamics myself Seems more forgiving in chicken world.

Happy Aloha Saturday!
Almost time for me to watch the chooks wander in the mornings darkness, setting off their motion sensor lights and waiting for the sun to rise. Silly chickens 67° in the run with clear skies, no wind right now. I'm sneezing away because of all of the Mango and Kukui blooms lol

Not sure what my plans are today. Need to feed the worms a carrot, sew a few bags and hopefully take Boo for a ride. Got everything put back together the day b4 yesterday but had to wait for a soldering gun before I wrapped and tucked the wires. New lights are streamline and painting the sidecovers black help to make her look less alien

still pondering the back basket... and my next bike project, like new tires, rear shocks, muffler lol

Time to think about the BIG shop clean ♡

So beautiful ! I'm still stubbornly hoping for homegrown papaya fruit even if my poor abused trees are little midgets . I'm looking at your pic and drooling right now

@kurby22 @Shetland lover the bubbles haven't come back since her eye rinse and the swelling is going down instead of increasing. I went ahead and did some terramycin and I have both doxycycline and tetracycline but haven't given her any yet. I'm thinking it's just an injury at this point but I've never seen eye bubbles before...and because both eyes bubbled I instantly thought disease...anyhoo...whatcha think? Definitely not ammonia caused and still no respiratory symptoms.
