Baldy Bums !!

Post by Richard »

I have a baldy bum ex-batt, been like it since I got her, think about 18 months ago!!

(sorry Milly -- saw your Chicken Coop set up - which is brilliant by the way - saw you have one as well).

Strange, all healthy and OK, but destined for a drafty rear end.

Anyone else got one?

Richard :-D :-D

Our Bluebelle has had a bald bum almost since we had her nearly two year ago. She sometimes fluffs up a bit but there's always a bald patch that I don't think will ever grow back. We have to treat her to a spar day quite regularly too as she's always a bit messy +f+

hehe.

It's always difficult when I do a video, I wonder what people are going to think of me when this poor bald headed bottomed hen keeps on appearing!!

She's always been happy (I think) and of all the ex-batts from that re-homing, she is the quickest and appears most bright !!

My white star has a bald bum and has done for a few months now - no sign of pecking, mites nothing like that. Showing no signs of growing back. All the others fine. A mystery :?
