(Just wait until I bring in some Highlander chickens . . .

Life's been, well, life. One of my chickens needed a lot of attention this week (had worms, needed antibiotics, and had crop problems). And I think I might have a rooster in my newest batch of chicks

How about you?

(Ooh! Ooh!

)

So sorry about your chicken, Blue. It's always so stressful when that happens. Make sure you give it electrolytes and let it forage for some good vitamin-rich foods to help him/her recover.

Mine's been fine, not terribly exciting, although monotony is sometimes a very good thing.

The chicken's doing great, now. She's out with her buddies in the coop again. I'm very surprised and relieved! The closest I can think is that the antibiotic so soon after the wormer really brought her downhill, and she went into crop stasis. I had to try and pump the food out of her crop for her for a day or two before crop contractions came back.

Monotony? You must be on vacation

Did you ever get to finish that picture of Jayflight?

Oh man! I'm sorry, Gerbil, I can't imagine having that many roos at one time. Are you planning on selling them?

(I'm not giving up on the "rooster" being a girl yet. They were guaranteed to be "100% female". Maybe

)

Give them away most likely.

We had two "100%" hen roosters.

I have heard stories about people debating whether the the chicken was a male or female "rooster" xD Maybe that's what they meant

Great to hear! I'm very happy for you.

I mean by Monotony is that nothing exciting, neither good nor bad, has happened. I am 90% finished with Jay's picture.

Very possible.

Sorry about your roo!

We have 7-8 outta 10 roos hatch. Bummed beyond words, they were going to be our new laying flock.

Where did you get them? If they're from a hatchery or a feed store and not a breeder, it's likely your '100% female' is more of a '50% female'. Ideal poultry and TSC are notorious for that. Feed store know-it-alls can't be trusted, either; I've not only read nasty stories but know by experience. My feed store said that my Easter Egger Cock was supposed to be a 'Ameraucana, with a 90% chance of getting a hen'.

It was painful having to get rid of the little guy. He was the best darn rooster I ever had.

The silence was eerie, before abruptly being broken by a foreign voice. "Whatever is the matter, dear?" asked a wicked voice from the trees as a shadow gracefully shifted through the trees. "You look as though you've seen a ghost." she said with a slight cackle, her shadow taking on the form of a bird as she approached.

(I think here)

His eyes searched the forest before resting on the hen "Nothing for your ears" He snapped, his voice holding the slightest hint of snarl

(Thank you!)

"It is that rooster, isn't it. The one that left for HackleClan and wound up getting himself killed?" a smirk touched one cheek, "Pity." she said as her piercing crimson eyes seemed to glare right through him.

She stepped out of the shadows, her jagged feathers black as a cloudy night sky, reflecting the slightest highlights of emerald and turquoise as the sun laid in delicate ribbons across her shapeful body. Her face was deep wine in color, with heavily-lidded, seductive red eyes and some few diagonal scars dotted along her cheeks. One wattle was torn at the edge from battle. Though she was somewhat beaten, she appeared altogether gorgeous.

"How do you know about that?" He hissed "Are you spying on WingClan?" His scorching gaze passed over her body but his gaze was drawn back to her face
