    Duck not walking after maybe being attacked

    What did you do in the garden today?

    If you formatted all the disk again, is gone. If you deleted only the Windows system, most of your hard disk is just inaccessible, but files will be there still for a while until overwritten by new files. The more you will use the computer from now on, the more old files will disappear, but...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Sad old rooster needed an embrace. It was a hard week for him. Then we chased the young big bad roosters with him in my arms like an ukranian drone. By the clucks I think that he enjoyed it. Life is plenty of simple pleasures, like pulling a bully rooster's tail.

    Nine month old Bielefelder with distended crop that won't empty

    Same post resumed: "I am a first-time chicken owner. One of my 9 months old Bielefelders may have a mass of hay in the crop, and has developed sour crop secondary to that.

    Blue eyed chicken breed genetics

    Blue eyes is a special case. Neither chicken or us have real blue eyes. We are unable to make a blue pigment so there is not a gen for that. Blue is the absence of brown pigment.
