Nature doesn't give a rat's ptooey about politics ---- me either for that matter The Earth isn't static, it is ever changing. Tectonic plates move, the poles and polarity shift, sea levels rise and fall, climate changes, species come and go. We deal with it or we don't. That's life on earth.

Talk about the universe speaking to you...about an hour and a half after I posted the above, I went down to get the mail before feeding the crew and found the Urch price list for 2014. He's offering Mottled Houdans this year! I'm going to place an all Houdan order and hopefully I'll get at...

Looking forward to my first show in two weeks. I have two Mottled Houdan pullets entered. They came from Mr. Urch. So hard to find any, much less good ones so I'm going to get a judge's opinion on these two. Love the breed but they just may be beyond recovery. Of course I'm also hoping to...

Sorry. Wrong thread. Darn phone!
