Star Wars

I was so worried about Old Boy yesterday... I went over to put the chickens to bed and I noticed this huge lump on his chest. I had envisioned it being a huge cancer tumor or something. I don't know what it is about Old Boy but I always have him on deaths door (in my mind). I compared his chest to Young Boy and then to Speedy and he definitely had a lump.
I then heard him crowing and wheezing, he sounded like Darth Vader. I could go on and on comparing the chickens to Star War characters (Speedy - Yoda, Young Boy - Luke Skywalker) but that could be a little bit much, even for me.
But when I got up this morning to let the chickens out his lump was gone. I have a feeling Old Boy just ate too much and the lump was the sack where they digest their food with the pebbles. I will continue to keep a close eye on him.
