Congratulations @HiEverybirdy and Stilton on getting featured on the BYC calendar!
If there is one person (and chicken) who truly deserve it, it’s you with your incredible photos (the best chicken photos I’ve seen), and your “muse” Stilton. We all love reading his stories, and seeing all his...
Maybe, possibly, we don’t know yet:lol:. Huernia hystrix. Yours is Huernia zebrina, right? I love that one.
Ok, so very standard succulent care. Good to know. A lot like the stapelia/orbea variegata. What are their growing rates like? Root system?
One thing about transitioning to terracotta...
I’m very much behind on tax.
Hope the tax collector is somewhat pleased with this recent photo (it even has three cockerels in it!) before I can pay the rest
You’re not going to like this :p . During the summer, he had a little run in with the chickens. He didn’t catch any, but still a mistake on our part.
This might be naive, but I’d rather he and his older sister roam the area, than have a fox come into our property. He can’t get in unless he...
Yup. Thanks RC!
Yes and no. The mite itself can’t be genetic, obviously.
What I have recently found trough this line is that some birds are just magnets for it; that seems genetic.
The pen started with three different lines. Ursula, a generational silkie mix, Cruella, an ultra mix and lastly...
This is very much unrelated to all that is being discussed right now, but I wanted to give an update on the fox situation. About two weeks ago there was a huge ruckus at the neighbours house. The next morning, I found an adult fox dead right outside one of the property gates.
After speaking with...
Lady Gaga would disagree with him :p . He sat perfectly still for his pedicures. Even slept a little, but only if his hens were right in front of us.
Chronic genetic SLM meant that any bird of his line needed regular trimmings. I had to quickly learn the best way to go about it, as there had...
Then he’s probably just not at that point in his maturity that he sees the opposite sex as something to court, rather than fight.
(again, a photo here would be really helpful to gauge where exactly he is in maturity, but it seems like you’d rather not post photos for safety reasons, which is...
Too late for proper quarantining now, but there’s still time for a proper introduction.
Photos of this bird would really help. To me it sounds like an immature cockerel. This checks out age-wise in my book.
Our aseel lines over here would definitely not be sexually mature at 6 months old. Has...
Sounds like it was a pleasant weekend for most. This trick or treating thing is very new here. Mostly as an idea, as I’ve yet to see one in person. What has become more popular are dressing up parties.
The chick tax was hilarious, Mother of Chaos, though I’m not sure the little one agreed :p
Happy Halloween, and a wonderful start to the weekend for all!
Your goats are adorable! I love the second to last photo, especially!
No decorations here at all, I’m afraid:hmm
Very normal behaviour! It happens when the original plant reaches a large enough size, quite remarkable!
Since the new plant is a clone, I don’t know if it can be called reproduction exactly. But yes, it’s another way of furthering their genetic material
