    Because I don't have chickens at the moment, I'm real behind on my tax payments. :oops: In the interest of not having the chicken IRS pay a visit, here's some pictures of one of the in-laws' chickens. Unsure of genetics, some form of EE mutt. The curious thing about her is that she has an extra...

    Not to be too off topic, but the reason I think kindness is human nature is because helping each other is how we evolved to survive. Studies show that even infants show signs of distress when they see someone (even a stranger!) who's upset or sad, and exhibit relief when said person is happy...

    i somehow acquired 2 runaways and i have questions. please help

    Comfrey is a good herb, but be careful. I've read that too much can cause liver damage. If you have a yard with a lot of things to forage (sounds like you do!) I'd trust them to use moderation and self medicate as needed, but I wouldn't have it be the only green thing in a run, for example. If...

    Totally agreed, I try to follow this general advice as much as I can. I also prioritize GFF meat, but that's as much for ethical reasons as health reasons

    I'm not entirely in agreement about that part. I'm more of the belief that we need to relearn how to coexist with the world, the same way we have for thousands of years. It's easy to see humanity as a blight when all we've ever experienced is industrialism and climate change, but our species has...

    I can attest to the changing my philosophy part. Before I moved to town (something I'm still sour about) the first 18 years of my life were spent on a chicken farm. For the amount of birds my family had (400ish layers and 300ish friers at any given time) it was probably the best life those birds...

    We all want to know why the chicken crossed the road. Right?

    Late to this, but the chicken crossed the road because the grass was greener on the other side

    Gosh, I'm having so much chicken envy now that it's springtime! Everyone's birds look so happy in the sun with everything leafing out

    What does this teach me about the parents genes?

    That could be the case. Mottle, maybe? The math just isn't matching with splash though! Whatever it is, it'll be really exciting to see how these chicks develop!

    What does this teach me about the parents genes?

    Are you 100% sure that all of these came from splash mom? Because if I know what I'm taking about (I might not :P) then with a black pattern dad and splash mom, 100% of the chicks should display as blue. To me, only 1, 5, and maybe 6 look blue. I can't tell with 2 because of its pattern(it'll...
