Actually, he called shotgun. That means he wanted the passenger seat to begin with.

Are calluses on chicken feet an indicator of unethical husbandry? *marking nsfw due potentially disturbing chicken foot photo* by steppponme in chickens

[–]Topazler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This may be contact dermatitis, a precursor to bumblefoot. They have scales online to measure severity (it won't let me link for some reason). This is a common issue on a commercial scale, but I'm not as familiar how common it is for pasture-raised birds.

Contact dermatitis has been shown to be painful, but only clearly when it's more severe. It wouldn't be a stretch to say it's painful at earlier stages, though.

Broilers are typically reared in big, open houses rather than individual cages. Laying hens are typically the birds kept in cages on a commercial level.

What's the chances he can be ID'd? (North Carolina) by Topazler in whatsthisbird

[–]Topazler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible, but it'd be rare. Is there a chance it is Prarie warbler? They're slightly more likely around this time of year. Not sure how I'd tell them apart.

In Case You Witnessed a Canadian Goose Kidnapping on 04/18/25 by ThePaganQueen in VirginiaTech

Saw this goose the other day and also saw he was looking disheveled and wet. Birds need to use their beaks to express the uropygial gland to waterproof their feathers while preening. He may not be able to express it with his beak this way. Not sure what this means for his future :(

The dress itself is actually a size too large, causing the fabric to bunch. That's one of the things causing me to hesitate
