I'll second this.
Or when a good movie is ruined by a dumb love story.
Unless the love story is a little twisted.
"You" on netflix is a great example.

This I can agree with.

Hm that’s true. I hate when they just add a random love interest or some token characters that have no real purpose lol

Aww, bummer to hear that. What didn't you like about them (other than the whole inbred thing)? Way to crush my hopes and dreams... just kidding. My dreams are fleeting.
Also, I did not know that about the name. I learned something!

You have to watch out with the crested ones. It is advised to not breed crested to crested because of the possibility of vaulted skulls. None of mine ever laid eggs at the claimed rates. Some of them laid as infrequently as 1 to 3 eggs per month. I purchased hatching eggs from all over the country to make an effort to get as widely spread a gene base as possible. It didn't work because all of the originals came from Greenfire Farms and everyone was already inbreeding their descendants.

The good thing was that hybrids created with SFHs were improved over their original breed and the SFH. The roosters were very protective of their hens and great lookouts. The bad part is that the roosters were very aggressive to other roosters and would fight to the death.

They are a very pretty breed that will never get APA recognition because of their diverse color range.

I had one SFH hen that forced a turkey hen off of her nest and took it over for herself.

Is toast acceptable?

I thought the crested issue was common in all crested birds?

It does not appear to be an issue in Crested Cream Legbars.

This all makes good sense. 1-3 eggs a month is not even remotely acceptable to me unless they are pooping gold.

In regards to the crest, is this a concern with the Cream Brabanters that I have now? Is a mohawk considered the same thing as a crest? If I really like them, I was hoping to breed them. Not for anything other than fun and sending hatching eggs all over the country, but still...

How much have you eaten today? How much exercise have you gotten? It's past 10 pm where you are... Toast is fine. Eating at 10 pm is not.

What "crested" are you talking about anyway?
