When does it end again?

 

 I LOVE POPCORN!

All Chicks should be born the natural way, with a mother 

All creatures should be treated without cruelty

Everyone should be a chicken lover!!!!!!! 

99.999% of girls would die if Justin Bieber appeared at their doorstep and asked for a date. If your that 0.0001% Who's wiping blood from your fist, put this in your siggy.

You don't recognize the Golden Campine as an ornamental chicken breed?

 

Use of Campine Chickens:  The energetic Campine chicken is a dependable layer of medium-sized white eggs. In North America, the Campine is prized as an ornamental chicken breed, as well.

 

The Campine chicken breed is considered one of the older breeds of chickens. There are records that show that people were breeding and consuming these birds and their eggs as far back as the 1400s, 

 

Strombergs lists the Golden Campine in the ornamental chicken breed catagory.

Home > Day Old Baby Chicks > Chickens > Ornamental Chickens > Golden Campine Chicks

 

Wikichicken lists the Golden Campine in the ornamental chicken catagory

 

http://chicken.gourmetrecipe.com/Chicken_Breeds_Campine_l96

 

A smaller breed of chicken, Campine’s are used primarily for show birds – or ornamental birds in the US – 

 

Orchard Poultry lists the Golden Campine as an ornamental Chicken breed

 

http://orchardpoultry.co.uk/index.php/welcome/hens

 

Campines are considered more as ornamental in North America and are few enough in number to be classified as ‘rare’ in the UK

 

The Campine is a Belgian breed whose origins are thought to date back to the time of Julius Caesar. Poultry historians believe it decended from the Brakel a breed that has been documented in writing in Belgium since 1416. As a pure breed the Campine is seen in two colours: gold and silver. 

 

 

 

 

This list goes on and on.  Oh well, thought I'd like to enter the contest!  Maybe next time. Thanks.
