Looks normal to me? Broody hens will rip out their belly and breast feathers to keep their eggs warmer, more skin contact, and so in doing that the surface may possibly dry out or at times rough up the rather thin skin.

Fuzzy Kiwis and Hardy Kiwis are two different species Hardy Kiwis are small and have no fuzz, but are sweeter and more flavorful. I'll be pruning and training the kiwis over time to give me little "crawl paths" to go up without hurting the vines. I've already crawled up those piles plenty...

First off to the person with the Easter Egger they're wondering if it is a pullet or cockerel - It's a pullet. Those aren't saddle feathers you see, trust me. It's a pullet. To Chickielady - Bugging has been okay. Because of all the brooder lamps and whatnot for the main barn/coop going on...

I saw the moon today! ( in detail I mean, lol ) We've had a huge and decently powerful telescope for years now but I've never had the fully powered batteries, right time of month, and right time of day and weather without a moon filter to be able to track down and view the moon without...

There are indeed gold duckwing EE's with Columbian gene that are somewhat similar but no rooster is exactly that color unless he carries the Henny gene, which, is very rare. You'd only find it in American Games, Oriental Games, Sebrights, and Campines. If the bird was just purchased, wait. New...

If gender is in question, that is no doubt a hen. A pretty hen. Roosters cannot come in that color.

Replying to the GF Pizza Crust question earlier - We use Bob's Red Mill, Arrowhead Mills, both very delicious mixes, and then if you really want things quick, Udi's now sells pre-made crusts, you just add your toppings and heat 'em up. They're not as soft from the get-go but still just as...

I hear ya, it's been soaking like crazy out there. I hear it should clear up soon though. When you have the chance, try Paul Robeson some time. Cool weather lover, probably will do very well without a greenhouse out here, and the most delicious purple/black tomatoes ever. They're not as sweet...

I gotta say, it is nice hearing there are so many fellow WA people also with Wheat issues. I don't have any, but the rest of my family does. Sadly we don't do much actual "from scratch" cooking though, even though I personally love it, it's always buying packaged mixes or pre-made GF things...

Just one thing I gotta mention - I have a big greenhouse, my growing season is from starting indoors in Feb til the first serious/hard frost, anywhere from Oct-Dec. Between then my temps are 70-95 degrees, big difference. So, I'm able to grow just about any tomato which may not work well for you...

It's about time lol!! Colored tomatoes are THE BEST. There is NO boring red tomato that beats them. Especially green tomatoes and orange tomatoes, oh my goodness. Some orange varieties out there literally taste like candy-sweet tangerines, some greens are just indescribably amazing. Oh and...

Try living through waiting for a broody Polish of all breeds to live through AND successfully hatch out a clutch of chicks on the outside of the pasture/pen fence boundaries. Luckily after this rain she's proven to me that whereever she is, it is dry, but predators? -- Really really hope such a...

The other EE posted is a pullet as well, yes.

Definite girl!

If ya ever need a hand out in sexing EE's I'm always around

I'm sorry there was a little disagreement going on. Yes, I decided to drop by for a quick sec just to see what was going on, so, anyone who remembers me. No, I wasn't offended or anything by the shout out, in fact it was welcoming. However lol I wouldn't have seen it if it were not for a PM I got

Is there any chance anyone here has Blue Wheaten Marans? (preferably cockerels available? if not, then chicks or eggs or something?) After I lost my only blue male, I'm trying to bounce back and get another blue for my girls but my original and seemingly only source for blues is waaay out...

No. If it is in March, no.

A heritage breed is a breed that was recognized before the 60's. An exhibition breed is one created for that purpose. They're rare and include breeds like Modern Games, Sultans, and Seramas. Now, a heritage BIRD not breed is one that meets the ALBC definition, an exhibition bird not breed...

Wow. So apparently there are 2166 unread posts in this thread, for me I mean. That's a lot of catching up to do! anyway
