    Columbian breed

    I think you mentioned them on the showgirl site - it made me think of the hen I just hatched. They are so pretty!!

    Columbian breed

    Does anyone know anything about a showgirl mutation called "Columbian"? The coloring is white with black and gray tail feathers and wing tips. Rather lovely, but I don't know anything about them. ????

    The Terrible Twos (two month old chicks)

    I'm an editor and my one suggestion is: don't forget to write a paragraph about the "hairy eyeball" you get from some chicks when they just stare at you to decide if you are worth the trouble. Otherwise - so good!!

    MMMM!!! Garlic Chicken recipe!

    I gave my flock some leftover garlic pasta the other night. They loved it. The next morning when I opened the coop, instead of stinky chicken poop, it smelled like an Italian restaurant! Its rather pleasant! I'm guessing the eggs will have a garlic flavor, too.
