I checked his teeth and gums; they all look great. His nose isn't runny and looks good. But his eyes...

    Pecked, or Pox?

Another chicken can lay an egg next to her and she'll ignore it, but if she sees me reaching for it, she'll fight me for it and break it, if she can get to it first. She also has developed a taste for my fingers. She is a...
