Thank you Harmony. I have placed the answers under your questions. I've also added a picture of Gibson's profile on September 19, 2008 (exactly 3 weeks ago). Oh, and 1 other thing...the hens have been broody for about 15 days, now.



Do you have alot of mosquitos?

Not "A LOT" like a person living on a lake, but we have mosquitos. I don't allow ANY standing water by them, and my home in order to keep the mosquito pop down. And, I can sit out there for hours w/out getting bit (but that's during the day). Loads of fire ants, though



Has he been in a fight recently?

He squabbles sometimes w/ the pullet, but he just fluffs up and the pullet roo runs the other way. This only happens outside and EVERYBODY (hens, anyway) let us know when it happens.



Are the other chickens hes with his flock mates or did they come from a different home?

They all came from the same breeder. Not only that, but they were all in the same coop (along with 1 other pullets)



Do the bumps look like yellow warts?

Ummm...sort of. The big one does, but it's very crusty over it. I tried to pick it off, but he acted like it hurt and it appeared that it was a scab that went further down in the skin...not just on top. The smaller ones are like little white puss balls with black in the middle.
