    I just wanted to say, in the least hateful way possible, that many libertarians do not support the right to keep chickens. I respect their right to believe that, but I still hope no one is under the impression that since they follow a strict NAP (Non Aggression Principle), they support the right...

    Registered a Long Time Ago

    ...But never introduced. I used to have chickens but now live somewhere I'm not able to have them. Someday I would like to have chickens again. I came back here primarily to say something about a certain group of people of a certain political affiliation that you would think would be...

    Brahma? Flavour Roll? I can't see the face.

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    Disclaimer: This is just a wild stab. (Hey it's an Easter Egger; of course it's a wild stab.) Looks like something in silver but carrying red. The red won't have too much effect on a bird not carrying gold, though. I think you picked out a beauty who may grow up to be dark with silver on most...

    Have you ever reported an E-Bay listing for using your stolen picture?

    Is he actually claiming the picture is of his chickens specifically? If not you may have no case to do anything. Many eBay photos are of stock items, and as much as it is in fact true that chickens aren't fungible, eBay may see them as just as fungible as one dollar bill to another, or one copy...

    Best Way to Get Wheaten Brahmas?

    That really is pretty too. I could probably have both silver wheatens and salmons by having a mixed flock where the red gene is present in some of them. This would be another reason to use the Black Sex Link pullet, since she carries a copy of it from her Rhode Island Red father. At this point...

    Best Way to Get Wheaten Brahmas?

    Actually if it's co-dominant, that significantly expands what I can do with it. I might decide I like the heterozygotes better and keep the partridge gene in my personal flock for variety. If it can be recessive, I could get extremely lucky and pick an Easter Egger who is carrying it. (As far...

    Breed Compatibility?

    I don't see any super-aggressive breeds on that list. That would be what I'd watch out for. I kind of wish each breed had an aggressiveness rating, like the fish in the pet store. Some breeds are more or less aggressive than others but individual personality plays a huge role too. You don't...

    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

    I guess I should apologise for my post. I didn't intend to call anyone irresponsible for smoking. I said I was responsible (in this one thing) for not doing it. This was the attitude when I was young and made the choice not to smoke, so I get a little upset. The truth is it's a choice, like any...

    Best Way to Get Wheaten Brahmas?

    I agree she couldn't possibly be a sex-link. It just looks to me that she's het for all-black, which is what gives female sex-links their head colour and black bodies. Black with red leakage, as you said. At least, that is my understanding about being het for all-black; that it does that. I...

    Best Way to Get Wheaten Brahmas?

    Maybe I need to use Sex Links after all. I just fell in absolute love with the leaky heterozygous E-Black on a Brahma. (At least I THINK that is what this is.) Can you imagine if it leaked silver and she had that beautiful burnished face, only it looked pewter instead of bronzy?

    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

    I don't think you should have to pay more into insurance whether you smoke, drink, or fatten yourself to 500lbs. I do think, however, that if you had the chance not to have a particular illness, then you should have to pay for treatment yourself - including "stupid accidents", cigarette smoke...
