I sooo need a time machine. Anybody have a spare flux capacitor? I want to go back in time at least 6 decades. Remember when they taught logic in schools?

I took some computer science courses in college and that included logic, but I don't think they had it in high school but I don't quite go back 60 years, at least not for my school days. I don't think walmart sells the flux capacitors any more.

My school days don't go back quite 60 years, but those times were saner.

it's equity based, so the males have to have the same outcome as the females (i.e., lay an egg)

I just don't understand.

I just don't understand.

the boys can lay an egg if they want to.

I'd like to see that done.

I'm picturing someone trying to tell that to the nun who taught us biology. No sane person would have even attempted it.

Yep. Boy chickens don't lay eggs.

Children in school are being taught that men can menstruate. Who are we to question a cockerel’s ability to lay an egg?

Remember the TV show Fantasy Island? Whose fantasy are we living in? I want to go back to reality.

I don't know what my chicken's breeder was breeding for other than ribbons, but from what I've read on this forum, I ended up with an exceptionally nice natured cockerel/rooster. He should graduate from cockerel to rooster maybe this month?

Anyway, an idea has been cooking in this little brain. He got rid of these chickens because of coloring issues. When I got them, there were some white feathers showing up. Big Ben has been getting more and more of them in his tail, and now it's mostly white. I think the contrast of the barring with the white feathers make the chickens look better (Just don't tell the show people! )

I was thinking of breeding for more white feathers so the birds would be a mixture of white and barred. I think that looks pretty. However, in order to do anything like that, these mess-ups with incubation need to be straightened out. I've failed on two batches so far, the ones from the swap meet, and the ones from my own pullets.

First year gags are best incubated later in the year. Try again in fall when your flock has had.a chance to work out the kinks.

If that’s true then someone needs a new teacher. That’s incredibly dumb.
