Chicken flavored bitcoin? Huh, I never thought I'd see the day.

@55fingers Thank you for the advice! I will be sure to keep that in mind.

@Gray Farms It was so long ago that I can't really remember.

I've been hearing about people hatching emus lately and I am deeply confused. I would love to hear about keeping emus because they are known as such nasty birds.

@Brahma Chicken5000 Salmon Faverolles are fantastic birds and I hope you love them!
