I think that’s the best use of emojis I’ve encountered yet!!!The pic is from a breeder, whom I got my original buttons and Mexican Speckeled Bob's. Took him several years of selective line breeding and back breeding to get birds that bred 'true'....lots ofand
along with some
That looks bad ass muddy ,, nice job !!!View attachment 2714341View attachment 2714342View attachment 2714342View attachment 2714343View attachment 2714344
Loving my little Grau fee
Finished the summer turning and fresh mulching
I've been involved in quite a few breeding programs through the years...not just birds, either! They (the emojis) pretty much sums it up! I love genetics and have a pretty good grasp of it but without a full scale lab, it's difficult at best to really get a handle on all the variables, gene mutations, gene sequencing, which genes are responsible for a certain trait, why some 'turn-on' and others don't in the same species. Why is there so much difference between siblings, what cause's a gene to be lethal, etc....the list go's on and on.....another that sums all this up!I think that’s the best use of emojis I’ve encountered yet!!!
Damn Mendel, he started it all! 
Such cute fluffy butts!
Sounds like it will be pretty awesome! I wish I could go!
how I hate the postal service! don't know if they got 'cooked' or not, will find out in a few days. I put the eggs in the bator....immediately, with the turner off! 
I’m so sorry! I hope you end up getting a few to hatch!!Ugh!!!!!
Ordered snowflake eggs last Tuesday. Weren't suppose to be here until this Thursday. Got an e-mail Friday, saying they would be here earlier than first quoted, Tuesday 14th. Got another e-mail Sunday saying the eggs would be delivered Monday....they were delivered yesterday but they had been sitting at the post office all weekend!!!!
Don't know if they were in the trailer or in the post office, either way, the eggs were at 93°F when I opened the box! (checked by IR thermometer).
so, this is just a reminder, that if you order eggs and the ambient temps are 90°F or above, please put your eggs in the bator, immediately, to stabilize. If you stablize them at 'room temp' you will have effectively killed the developing embryos.
*As a side note: not the best packing job but none were broken or cracked, 25 total. @ $3.25/egg + $15 for shipping, could be a costly disaster.
