Will do. These two chickens I got yesterday will not eat anything I give them, layer pellets, layer crumble, mealworms, blueberries, leafy greens, etc. I think they were 100% foragers and maybe just scratch here and there. Hopefully they will copy my 15 existing birds habits once I fully...
Pics added. I did ask about the tail feathers being ripped out and the person I bought these from said it never grew tail feathers. So this bird has never had tail feathers. It was hatched in January from Meyer. Hopefully I’ll get an egg today or tomorrow.
I purchased a chicken today that was sold as an Easter Egger. It’s Black with green sheen, Rumpless, has 5 toes on each foot, has a thick muff and has a strange comb that looks like a teardrop.

This is so true. I completely agree with this statement. I don't think sharks in general have recently decided to acquire a taste for human flesh. The more people that come in to contact with sharks, the more people will get bitten.

4 days ago I noticed something was amiss with her when she did not join the others to get treats and instead hung back and slowly walked around. She also held her tail down (it almost looked like she was constipated). I gave her several...
Just to update. After keeping my roosters separate for 2 weeks but within view of each other I decided to let them mingle. For 2 days they were fine. Then my black roo killed the gray one. Again he has NO Spurs, and they were hatched and raised together and always got along until one day...
I agree with @TheTwoRoos. This particular rooster that I have now is as sweet as he can be to me. However, he is flying over a 7 foot fence to attack and try and kill the neighbors rooster that has never even been close to my hens??? It's nuts! It's nuts!
I've got him in confinement for...
