Tales from the Coop.....

This is Pecker (red) and Patchy. Boston innocently named them both. Pecker is missing a ton of feathers on her back. I thought "what the heck! you just moulted!" This is not normal.


I checked her out looking for mites or illness, or even that she was being picked on by the other birds (with Patchy being the Queen).




Nope, it wasn't until I was cleaning out the coop and noticed the funky smell and turned to look at the heat lamps in there........
Turns out the stupid bird snuggles up to her red heat lamp at night. There were her feathers stuck to it and scorched all over it.
......Genius



Retarded bird.

OMGoodness!!! That's the funniest
-and the most pitiful thing ever!Poor bird, she's just trying to get warm and cooking away her source of warmth in the process!
